Broadway stars from "Our Town," "Gypsy," "Oh, Mary," "Yellow Face" and more recall their most memorable Broadway first.

“The first Broadway show that I ever saw was ‘Kiss Me, Kate.’ I was in New York, on a school trip,” said “Oh Mary!” creator and star Cole Escora, who was around 13 then. “Yellow Face” actor Daniel Dae Kim added, “The first time I ever set foot on a Broadway stage, I was doing ‘The King and I’ at Lincoln Center.
