Brief Encounter -- Best Musical???

I loved this show. It's not billing itself as a "musical," and yet it's one of the best musicals I've seen.

It's so smart. And funny. And moving. And engaging. It's a bloody terrific show.

It's very early in the season, and there are some very fascinating musicals coming up. But "Brief Enounter" is a TERRIFIC night in the theatre. And it IS a musical. It's not billing itself as such, but those Noel Coward songs are better integrated into this show than they ever were in Noel's original shows. If "Contact" could win a Tony, this show deserves a chance.

Go see it. It IS a musical. And a very, very entertaining one.

Anyone know if there is a merchandise table at Brief Encounter yet with posters? Thanks

Attending Brief Encounter was one of the loveliest evenings I have ever spent in the theater. But at leaving time, I too wondered what category this show would be classified as--Play or Musical. Whatever the case, I hope it gets nominated for a slew of awards.
