I was also born in 1987. Les Mis seemed to grab practically everything, from lighting to actor to book. However, the greater achievement of 1987 was that it was the year Adventures in Babysitting came out, starring our fabulous Elizabeth Shue and our beloved Anthony Rapp.

1988, but during the '89 season. Both have already been done.

As for Drood, it's an amazingly fun show that's really hard to explain, but it's loosly based off of Dicken's last, uncomplete novel, and it's set in a British Music Hall. I highly recommend seeing it if you ever get the chance.
