My First Time

[cahwyguy]

Some recent articles that have come across my RSS feeds have gotten me thinking about my first time.

Yes, my first time.

I really mean it. Of course, I’m talking about my first live theatre. What did you think I was talking about?

Seriously, my first time was going to see “The Rothschilds” at the LA Civic Light Opera in 1972. This was when we still got the Broadway stars, so we actually had Hal Linden in the cast (who I later thanked when I saw him a few years ago at On Golden Pond at the Colony). What brought back this memory was an article on the rich score of The Rothschilds, which was prompted by the new production of Rothschilds & Sons at York Theatre Company. The new production is a one-act version of the show that hopefully addresses the book problems that plagued the show the first time around (even though I loved the score, and often walked around UCLA whistling the overture). Even better was the news that they are recording the new score. Hopefully, I’ll have space on the iPod.
