The first time I watched a musical...

...I fell in love with musical theater. I think it was The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by Trumpets Philippines - or at least this is the earliest I can remember. My sister and I also joined summer theater workshops in Trumpets and Repertory Philippines for a few years. It was exhilarating. I love how musicals can portray the most mundane events in the most whimsical way. And how people just burst into song and dance without batting an eyelash. And how a shy, soft spoken kid (believe it or not, I was shy back then) could disappear into a totally different persona with the help of a few well-placed lyrics and notes. In the world of the musical, nothing is ordinary.
