I was sat in the stalls the first time I saw it, but I knew what was going to happen as I'd listened to the soundtrack so much. My parents actually saw the original cast, with Michael FUCKING Crawford as Phantom. *jealous beyond belief*
I'm jealous too! 
(On that note, they also saw the original cast of The Rocky Horror Show.)
*Ceases to breathe*
Quite.
Your parents are either very lucky, or have friends in high(ish) places...or maybe it was just because of them being the right age to be able to see them at those times.
When was that?
Was your mum at least pregnant with you? Were you there in spirit?
Maybe you could hear it and it influenced your development somehow...

Well Phantom opened on October 9th 1986. Sooo my mum would have been pregnant then.
Not sure when exactly they saw RHS though. Opened in, er, 1974 I think. Sooo around that time.

Haha, all of the above!

Almost certainly. Music of the Night (which is a beautiful song) must have permeated the womb, as it is effectively my philosophy.
Did you come out singing it?
I went in singing it. 
Into where?!
Ew.
Aaron started it...

Into the theatre. Before I'd seen the show. 'Cos I knew all of the songs already.

I'm shocked that something's managed to disgust you!

Ah I did that with quoting at History Boys...people don't seem to like it when others do things like that for some reason...
