​If it helps, I can get you all started. The first show I remember seeing was a production of “Oliver!” when I was in Kindergarten. The high school was putting it on, and, since it was vaguely child appropriate we were invited to watch a performance of the first act. I found the show very moving, mainly I cried a lot through the beginning. I cried so loudly that the teacher had to take me out of the theatre, and explain to me that the kids were just pretending. I sat through the remainder of the first act, attempting to be as quiet as my sniffling would let me.

To get you started, I figured I would answer this question myself. I can say numerous theatrical pieces have changed my life in many ways, but one that I always think about is “RENT.” The way people talk about “Hamilton” these days is how I felt about RENT as a kid. I was obsessed with it, and a lot of the reasons for that are similar. RENT was a musical, which used modern pop/punk to tell the story. I love classic showtunes, so this was not the major selling feature. The thing that really changed my life was that two major characters in the show were not only gay but in a committed and loving relationship. In the post-Glee/Modern Family universe we live in now, it is hard to remember this this was a big deal. However, for me, it was the first time I ever felt like a part of me was being represented in the medium I adored. As a result, despite the fact I was and am pretty sure I’d never be cast in that show, I memorized every single word and note of the score. While I was not a fan of the movie they made of the musical, I loved the filmed Broadway production.
