David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail
-Into the Fire
Scarlet Pimpernel

Willkommen.
Bienvenue.
Welcome.
And, despite the username, AIDA is my number one favorite. I fell in love with the show was I was young-ish, and it was the first show I ever really loved. It's kept a special place in my heart ever since. The way to win me is with great music, and I fell for the AIDA's score right away. I was so young when I first saw it that I didn't recnognize its many flaws, but I have a lot of wonderful memories from and because of it, it was the first time I ever saw/heard of Adam Pascal, and I think it was really beautiful even if it wasn't perfect. I miss it.
Followed by: RENT, Cabaret and Oklahoma!

Posted: 4/11/05 at 2:14amMy favorite Broadway show is Cabaret. I love it for so many reasons, but mostly, because it was honest.

I love so many musicals.
I love everything by jRB and I loved Les Miserables and DOTV (sadly yeah I know - I loved the special effects and choreograpy) Also I love Sweeney Todd!!!
When someone blunders, we say that he makes a misstep. Is it then not clear that all the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill our history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill in dancing. - Moliere
