As I recall...2001 had the fabulous opening number by the cast of "The Full Monty" doing their "finale". A very generous soul gave me a copy of her videotape and I just adore the audience's reaction to the guys baring it all. Gwyneth Paltrow looks like she's hyperventilating! :o)

2002 was such a good year...that is why, to me at least, it seemed that 2003 was very good at all.
