Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown would be at the top of the list for me.
I'm more into the old-school musicals so I'd like to see Guys and Dolls again or even a revival of Bye, Bye Birdie. Just some great music in both of those shows.
