yup, and I think RENT is currently the 9th longest running (I could be wrong)

I can't wait. This should be a lot of fun! I'm excited to meet other BWW's, as well as Fredi of course.

You know, I've asked Anthony...but I don't think I asked you, Fredi. What music are you listening to these days? And...have you been to any good concerts?

Hey Fredi, just woke up from long nap.

A Chorus Line is 4th I believe behind Cats, Phantom, and Les Miz.

Rent's moved up to the 8th spot...

Here's what I'm pretty sure is the full list of top 10 longest running bway musicals:

1. Cats
2. Phantom of the Opera
3. Les Miz
4. A Chorus Line
5. Oh Calcutta!
6. Beauty and the Beast
7. Miss Saigon
8. Rent
9. 42nd Street
10. Grease

Like I've said before, I'm holding out for a recording. I will settle for a nice slightly muffled bootleg, but you know how much we'd love a professional recording of it.

Liotte, I heard that's going to be an online lotto. Pros and cons, more so for me b/c it'd be difficult for me to go down and pay to park and then lose, but con is that ppl who win will need a ****load of luck.
