Posted: 11/20/04 at 5:38pmSnoopy is adorable and I LOVE the OBC to She Loves Me. Im not a soprano, but it's the closest thing to soprano character songs. Library, Vanilla Ice Cream, Where's My Shoe and I resolve are all gems.

Posted: 11/20/04 at 6:25pmAhhh. I saw Blood Brothers a few years ago in the UK. Interesting show. Though I think I liked the premise more than how it actually turned out.

Which Witch (no I'm only kidding)
I would say that I love 'Kristina fran Duvemala' and I hope Broadway plans are still in the works.

Posted: 11/21/04 at 12:58amI think it's pretty well-known to really die-hard Broadway fans, but mine would have to be "The Last Five Years". "She Loves Me" and "Once On This Island" are brilliant, too.
