"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 8/23/04 at 12:32amglad to see someone else thinks highly of Hunchback - Frollo's song "Hellfire" is a great piece of music. I also liked Aladdin. Best song in that one is a tie - One Jump Ahead with Friend Like Me

Hellfire is defeated by obvious rhymes
It would be interesting to see the new music for Little Mermaid on Broadway (particularly if it's URSULA)

Yes, even though it wasn't one of the choices, Hunchback is my favorite Disney/Menken movie. I like 'em darker, and with no princesses.
bwayguy2, if you're an Aladdin boy, you should definitely check out the cheesy 45-minute live version at Disney's California Adventure sometime.
