I think the revival of Sweeney Todd definitely deserved a longer run, I really liked it.

I'm not a gay stereotype. I'm a coincidence.

I definitely agree with those who mentioned CHESS and LENNON.

Oh yeah, I agree with Chess too. And Urinetown.

Going back to 2001...I saw the most amazing CHESS in Concert in Nyack NY. Check out this cast

Anatoly: Robert Evan (J&H) (Rob's ANTHEM to this day is heartpounding. No one looked more Russian than Rob!)
Freddy: Brian D'Arcy James (his Pity the Child was mind blowing)
Svetlana: Julia Murney (simply romantic)
Florence : Lauren Kennedy
Narrator: Norm Lewis (hammed it up)
Aribter: Danny Zolli (JCS)(One Night in Bancock rocked)

Chours: Shoshana Bean & others.
Here's the link:

How I wish someone would perfect this show and open it on Broadway. Also, ditto on Urinetown! We need to laugh more!

SMILE

I think we are ready for it now.

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart; and you'll never walk alone.

WalkOn-
I agree on Smile.

I'd love it if Sunday could get another chance out on Broadway (Which it sounds like it might)

I agree with purpleprince, Steel Pier could use a total book rewrite and be a great show. The score is great (except maybe Running in Place).

I killed the boss, you don't think they're gonna fire me over a thing like that!!!!

If you need your Urinetown fix, then come to J.P. Stevens High school in Edison NJ on April 19, 20, and 21. Doors open at 6:30. Free peeing for all!

Shameless advertising is ok, when it's for a good cause.

Jane Eyre (though apparently there's a national tour in the works, which makes me happy)
The Scarlet Pimpernel
Parade
Goodbye Girl (one of my favorite movies, but the songs are a bit hit or miss)

Caroline, or Change - my favourite musical of the last twenty years.

Mack & Mabel - the score is SO good, there has to be someone somewhere on this planet who can fix that book.

I deff. agree that Sweeny needed a longer run!!! We had tickets and everything for December and then we found out is was closing early. I was soooooooo dissapointed! ='( and my friend got to see it on closing night! I'm so envious...

The Woman in White
Jane Eyre

How to properly use its/it's: Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

Definitely Mack & Mabel.
I'd be interested to see if Breakfast At Tiffany's could be successful with changes.

There wouldn't be lights bright enough!
