And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps...
What did she realize, Kitten?
That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Where?
On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

Well, I've only seen 5 Broadway shows, but here are the last 10 shows I saw and the grades I give them: (starting with most recent)
Aida for the second time.
Aida, Oconee Youth Playhouse, 100 As good as any of the Broadway shows I've seen, and I'm not just saying that.
Brundibar and Comedy on the Bridge, California, 99 Off-Broadway now, I think. We came to see William Youmans in it.
The Lion King, Broadway, 95 Beautiful, but some of the characters were way too tacky
Midsummer Nights' Dream, Juillard, 100 Really creative and brilliant.
The 25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee, Broadway, 100 I won the lottery and it was so fun. We sat like five inches from the stage, which was really low so we could see everything even though we were in front.
Chicago, Broadway, 100 It was really amazing, even with the understudies. Donna Marie Asbury is like my hero now.
The Light in the Piazza, Broadway, 100 So sweet and beautiful. I was so touched during Love to Me.
The Music Man, Arts!Oglethorpe, 90 The kissing was really fake and Amaryllis was sorta bad but the leads were great.
The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes, Oconee Youth Playhouse, 95 I was somewhat skeptical of this at first, but the music, by Dan and Michael Coenen, is really great and catchy, something you might see on Broadway. The 21 bunnies were really energetic and funny. The lead had a gorgeous voice. There wasn't much of a plot, though.
Pretty is what changes. What the eye arranges is what is beautiful.
