"And if I'm going to see a show, I want to at least have a chance at understanding it all."

The large text in Italian was added later on into the process to reveal to the audience that despite the language, humans are humans and we can look past the language barrier. Also, having the audience confused on the langage allows them to really understand and feel Clara and Margaret's position in Florence.

"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."

the wrecking of the model-T in Ragtime always annoyed me. I know you can't really wreck a car every night, but I could've done without the real sounding sound effects paired with the anything but real looking sledgehammering of the car.

It bothers me that they don't give a reason in Wicked that by act 2 Glinda becomes "Glinda the Good." It just happens. Of course, I don't think anyone would accuse of the book to that being all that good... or any feature of that show for that matter...

^It's inferred so that they can "shut her up" with the title, I suppose.

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

Songs that take place in and around a dumpster.
