Martin Guerre 1999 Kiss of the Spider Woman Starmania Miss Saigon
In my heart, I found the answered dream,
and in my soul I found the song, and in my friends
I found the magic, the love,
the moon up above- they were mine, all mine, all along..!
"It does what a musical is supposed to do; it takes you to another world. And it gives you a little tune to carry in your head. Something to take you away from the dreary horrors of the real world. A little something for when you're feeling blue. You know?"
Sunday in the Park is the only show which has made tears come out of my eyes in performance!
Passion is a close second, but didn't manage what Sunday did.
Left-field choice: Triumph of Love- I love Betty's song Serenity.
Going back to the original post- we would have had to be REALLY blessed to get the two most beautiful scores EVER in one season... No wonder oldies like me grumble!
I think my top three (if I were to narrow it down) would be PARADE, Sunday in the Park with George, and PASSION. I think these three are absolutely perfect from start to finish. Bernarda Alba might be the runner-up. And, uh, Sweeney Todd and Ragtime, too. There are a lot of scores I love, but the ones I've mentioned strike me as being more perfectly complete and beautiful as a whole.
