I'm curious to see who knows what and vice versa. I know that there is a lot of Piazza love going around, but I couldn't tell you a thing about the show. Except that Kelli O'Hara has the mental state of a ten-year-old...or something like that.
I also haven't a clue on:
A Chorus Line
Les Mis
&
Sunday in the Park with George
Tell me--am I really missing out??

Posted: 2/5/06 at 8:28pmProbably the seemingly most popular show that everyone knows except for me is Ragtime. The shows more popular or revered than that I basically do know all of and in quite depth. But this is frequently talked about and I still have no knowledge

Posted: 2/5/06 at 8:29pmPretty much every older musical. Even some of the contemporary ones. I couldn't tell ya what happens in Les Miz or Cats or Miss Saigon.

Sweeney Todd.
*ducks*
The only thing I really know about the story comes from that movie Jersey Girl with Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck.

Company, Follies, Sunday in the Park with George.
Well, I know Sunday. And I have a recording of the Sondheim Concert at Carnegie Hall which has a lot of songs from Company and Follies. But otherwise...zip.

Wow! I guess I used to be one of those freaks who would memorize the New York Times... and also the Theater Yearbooks that used to come out in the years ago. (Do they still come out?)
I dont know anything about The Pajama Game however, and I know the idea of Urinetown but I dont know the story.
