Snoopy is adorable and I LOVE the OBC to She Loves Me. Im not a soprano, but it's the closest thing to soprano character songs. Library, Vanilla Ice Cream, Where's My Shoe and I resolve are all gems.

Hello Again. I will say this again; it should have extended its original run and should be brought back soon! Great show!

Ahhh. I saw Blood Brothers a few years ago in the UK. Interesting show. Though I think I liked the premise more than how it actually turned out.

Which Witch (no I'm only kidding)

I would say that I love 'Kristina fran Duvemala' and I hope Broadway plans are still in the works.

I think it's pretty well-known to really die-hard Broadway fans, but mine would have to be "The Last Five Years". "She Loves Me" and "Once On This Island" are brilliant, too.
