James Joyce's The Dead was very touching and endearing.

I have to admit, I was very touched by Wicked.

Rent and Little Women got me as well.

I cried buckets throughout Les Miserables. Ragtime was another one that got me at the very end. I am an easy cry though - I can cry at Hallmark commercials at Christmas.

Not to sound cliche, but Rent and Wicked have touched me the most. Followed by Les Miserables. Every show I've seen has had some effect on me, other than Chicago.

Most recently it was Little Women....

Children of Eden (my first listening to a modern musical)

Wicked...i was obsessed for months, now its like i over listened...shame.

The Wild Party (Lippa)...you dont know how many nights i stood with my fingers as a gun singing Burrs' part in 'make me happy'!


A New Brain...the first modern musical recording i bought, the finale is just awesome! and when the beginning starts up it just brings back all the memories!

Marie Christine...this recording was the light of my life for so long after i heard it, and when i first heard 'Beautiful' sung by Audra, god the memories!

"It's a great feeling of power to be naked in front of people. We're happy to watch actual incredible graphic violence and gore, but as soon as somebody's naked it seems like the public goes a bit bananas about the whole thing."

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

Cabaret. I tear up just listening to the cast recording... I want to tell the Emcee that I'm sorry because it is all of our faults... troubles can't be left outside, they'll work their way in...

Parade. I went to go see it in Chicago at the Bailiwick Theater and there were 3 different times I just broke down and balled. The one song that got to me the most was The Funeral Song.

lol this might sound corny, but yes Wicked touched me, BECAUSE I saw it with my best friend and believe me, we are exactly like Will & Grace, except we don't live together.
