Carousel ...
Oh, I baaaaaaaaaaaaaaawled like no other.
"We don't value the lily less for not being made of flint and built to last. Life's bounty is in it's flow, later is too late. Where is the song when it's been sung, the dance when it's been danced? It's only we humans who want to own the future too."

Posted: 8/18/06 at 11:41pmCarousel, no doubt. No musical has ever made me cry harder. I like to turn the cast recording up really loud and just let the score sweep me away. I hold it very dear to my heart.

King and I.
I'm partial to Thailand, anyway. However, the show and film are banned there. It's insulting to the King. In reality, he didn't really know Anna that well and definately did not have a relationship with her.
Ironically, a westerner (Jim Thompson) living in Bangkok revived the Thai silk industry and supplied the original Broadway run and the film with all of the silk used in the costumes. Now the silks are world famous and it has become a huge industry in Thailand.

Posted: 8/28/06 at 5:29pmI'm doing the King and I right now so I'm kinda oblidged, but also I love South Pacific. And I love the Finale reprise of 'You'll never walk alone' from Carousel, even though I hate Liverpool Football Club.
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

Posted: 8/28/06 at 8:06pmSouth Pacific is my favorite, probably because I was in it.
If Percy Blakeney were in Les Mis....
Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.
Javert: (Looks for gun)

Posted: 8/28/06 at 8:24pmThe King and I is my favorite, but my favorite song of theirs is "This Nearly Was Mine" from South Pacific (closely followed by "No Other Love" from Me and Juliet)
