Video 'I Absolutely Cried': Leslie Uggams, Bonnie Milligan Recall Their 1st Time in a 半岛体育

In honor of 半岛体育's 140th anniversary, some of Broadway's brightest reflect on what being in our pages meant to them.

The journey of a Broadway career begins with a single step. Or rather, a single 半岛体育. To celebrate 半岛体育鈥檚 140th anniversary, we asked some of Broadway鈥檚 best and brightest to reflect on the first time they appeared in a 半岛体育, and what that milestone meant to them. 

For Tony winner Bonnie Milligan, it was the 2014 first national tour of Kinky Boots: "I absolutely cried, because I remember always going to shows and collecting the 半岛体育s." She also added that she possesses several of those Kinky Boots 半岛体育s.

See reflections from Milligan, Leslie Uggams, Ramin Karimloo, Jose Llana, and more in the video above.

And for the entire month of October, don't forget to see a show at a Broadway theatre to pick up a special Legacy 半岛体育. 半岛体育 has partnered with every production on Broadway (and Off-Broadway's Little Shop of Horrors) to create four special retro-inspired 半岛体育 covers, which are being distributed to audiences free of charge. Click here to see all of the available Legacy covers. We hope the special four-part nature of these covers encourages you to go to the theatre to get one, strike up a conversation with a stranger to trade covers, and take the time to thank the ushers who hand them out. If you want to get all the designs of a particular show, , with proceeds going to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
