"You've Got Mail" - but with music! Good one - She Loves Me.

Ok - here's mine-

"Girl is loved by majorly ugly guy and leaves with a handsome dude.
AND
Girl is loved by majorly ugly guy who becomes a handsome dude."



Bulldog is right about the second.

Geek, if I'm not wrong, in NOTRE DAME DE PARIS, the girl dies and misses out on connubial bliss with the ugly and handsome alike.

The first is a well known musical that has been mentioned at least once and perhaps more than once in this thread. I just liked the pairing.

I knew that it wouldn't be so easy
I have to check it out. I don't remember her dying, but I am not 100% sure. She certainly doesn't die in Disney's cartoon version and she gets the cute guy LOL.
And Sally, it's GREEK, not Geek. There is quite a difference :)

Take care
