What Is It Like Going To Your First Musical?
We have met so many wonderful friends down here in Texas! Two of them put their heads together and decided it would be great to have “Little Man” go to his FIRST broadway musical.
Thank you, Miss Kaye & Miss Faye!
How wonderful is this? Three years old and seeing his first play, “Seussical the Musical” by Dr. Seuss of course.
Before we walked into the auditorium, we found this adorable winter scene that Little Man had to check out.
We arrived very early to capture great seats up in the front for him. He is so little, I wanted to make sure he was going to be able to see the musical.
Of course, he gives Grammie this “I am too cool look” when she wants a picture before the show starts.
The start of the show…
Oh, but the reaction is just a little different now…the show has started!
He looks at his Mommy to tell her, this is pretty great.
This is so exciting…
The encore…
Do you remember your first musical?
I was in my twenties, before I saw mine!! Times have changed haven’t they?
We hope your holiday preparations are going fantastic.
Remember to ENJOY the season, it will be gone before you know it.

Such a cutie! I’m sure he loved it!
Hmmm … I don’t remember my first musical (probably something at school when I was in HS) but I do remember my first movie (Sound of Music, in a drive in).
Little Man looks like he loved it!! Laurie, I love your photos … I wish I could take people shots like you!
Laurie, you take marvelous people shots!
Such fun and wonderful memories!!!
Wow what a great event for him, and the musical looks great too! I am sure he had fun watchmaking that! 🙂
How fortunate little man is to experience his first musical at such a young age! I was an adult before I saw my first one!
The musical looked like a lot of fun and Little Man looks like he was enjoying it!
It looks like he had fun Laurie. And I would have too – the pictures you have shown suggest a lovely story.
What a wonderful treat for Little Man, and his family. Magical!
Oh man! So adorable! Lovely child!
Fabulous, Laurie! The very best of Christmases to you and your family 🙂
He is adorable! It is wonderful that you are starting him out early. Growing up in a small town I did not see many musicals. Today we try to support local theater. Tomorrow afternoon we are going to see “Oliver” at the local Harbor Playhouse. You are right – the season will be gone too quickly! Today I made fudge and cranberry muffins. Enjoy the season and your Little Man!
How fun for him! Looks like he really enjoyed it. 🙂
Great memories for him! My granddaughter was also three when she saw her first one…I took pictures too and the excitement was showing during the show, just like on Little Man’s face. And I was in my mid 20s too when I saw my first broadway musical in London.
Oh, what fun! I bet he really enjoyed it.
This looks like a ton of fun, nice that something is geared towards children. My first introduction to musicals was the English “pantomime.” Don’t know if it’s still as popular these days but it was a holiday tradition with a mish mash of songs, slapstick, silly costumes, topical humor… kind of a pre-Monty Python family entertainment loosely based on a fairy tale or children’s story… Well, you had to be there!
I adore Little Man! He is so handsome! Looks like he loved the musical!!!! Hugz Lisa and Bear
Oh what fun. I love those first theater outings with the young ones. My first musical was Purlie and I’ll never forget it.
Laurie, just adorable!!! It is so special when you watch something through a child’s eyes. We are in Va. tonight after driving15 hrs. We will be in NJ tomorrow for Christmas. Can’t wait to see everybody. Have a wonderful Christmas. Love, Annie Sent from my iPad
He looks so happy or having fun watching the show. I like that picture!
Thank you for all the kind words you leave here on this blog. So appreciated.
A perfect introduction to live entertainment–delighted that you could share the pre-holiday experience.
It’s great fun, exciting and you made a lovely picture story out of it, Laurie. Thanks for taking us all along on this special day.
Big *hug* for the Little handsome Man.

Oh, he looks like he certainly was enjoying himself. I took my granddaughter to see it several years ago, and we loved it. Happy holidays to you. 🙂
Love his exciting expression, precious. Enjoyed the photos of the Little Man’s his first broadway musical, Laurie! 🙂
I’m a big believer in exposing children to arts of all kinds at an early age. You never know how exactly it feeds their imagination but it does. And you can see the delight on his face. It makes me so happy. Great post. Dr. Seuss was my first book and I’ve now seen so many musicals I can’t remmeber which was my first. I think it was Oliver.
How special and sweet!!
Wonderful photos, Laurie. Your Little Man looks so enthralled by everything going on there. Love your first pic. 🙂
So cute! What an awesome experience for ALL of you! Since we lived in NJ, it was pretty convenient to zip over and see a broadway show from time to time so I was lucky and saw many …. can’t beat a LIVE performance!
So glad that he enjoyed it and you can tell by the look on his face and the great smile! I didn’t go to a musical till I was in high school. Still remember it “Brigadoon”.
I haven’t seen Brigadoon. Must put that on my list.
Yes, its great!
He’s too cute. I’ll bet he loved it.
My first theatre experience was the Nutcracker with my mother. Very special.
You certainly captured his excitement at his first play. He is so precious and how wonderful that you are exposing him to theater at such a young age.
Oops…I hit submit too quickly. I’m a huge musical theatre fan so I made ensure to take my boys when they were young as well. Always good to install a little culture at a young age 🙂
He’s too precious.
It looks he was pretty excited! It would be interesting to ask him about this experience sometime after ten-fifteen years.
I think Little Man enjoyed himself! 😀 … .and I hope you get a chance to stop by my holiday party this weekend.
