Yay, I'm glad there are folks who dig this thread!!!

Jack - when I was reading your post I was so afraid I was going to get to the end and it would be a bad experience - so glad that Medusa loved it. What about you? Was it just for her or did you like it?

It's maybe a little odd, but I almost never get emotional watching tv or movies. Animals dying will do it but in these areas I'm not a cryer. Musicals - a totally different story. I teared up several times during Wicked. I've seen Phantom several times and among other times at the beginning when the chandelier rises up I get all teary. I would say that at some point in most of the musicals I have seen I got teary at least once.

I've been really fortunate to have seen two shows on Broadway: Phantom and Les Mis - both absolutely incredible. BestButchBoy - I have no interest in living in New York...except it would be amazing to be able to hit Broadway on a regular basis.

Arwen - I haven't seen Lion King, but if it comes around I will definitely see it. Actually, I take that back - I did see it at a local community theater and really enjoyed it.

Let's see, others that I have really enjoyed - and yeah, they're probably all the really well-known ones. Ms. Saigon, Hair, Aspects of Love, Rent. I'd see all of these again. I've seen Cats, and enjoyed it, but don't think I go again. Saw She Loves me - I think I enjoyed it, but obviously it didn't make enough of an impression on me to see it again. One musical that I saw and did not care for at all was Titanic. The music never grabbed me. The storyline focused on three different groups of people - first class, third class, and the crew, but not on individual folks. So when the boat sank (which was actually done really well) I didn't care as much as when I've 'bonded' with particular characters. Not that I didn't care, but it certainly didn't have the same impact. Those are the shows that come to mind right now - no wait, I've seen Cabaret and Rocky Horror at the local theater and really enjoyed both of them.

Diva - would love to see you on stage - what are some of the shows you've done?

Really enjoying this discussion - thanks ya'll!
