Oooooh!  
I second whoever said “Godspell”. One of my all-time favorites!

Also, Fiddler on the Roof, Oklahoma, Music Man, et al.

I was privileged to see both Bernadette Peters and Phylicia Rashad doing the role of The Witch in _ITW_. Rashad was very good… but Bernadette Peters was magical.

And Esprix – of _course_ the London _Chess_ is the best – the Broadway version doesn’t have “Someone Else’s Story” on it… that song is amazing.

So what’s your take on the show – is Freddie gay?

Very Soft Shoes, Esprix!  
A couple more that I’ve liked not yet mentioned: _Carnival_ - The show is okay, but great soundtrack with Anna Maria Alberghetti. _1776_ – Never saw this one live, but it’s a good movie.

Wow this one is a toughie! Too many to pick just one, but if I hafta, I think it would be The Wizard of Oz. Hello Dolly, Paint Your Wagon and Evita are a few more of my favorites.

I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature!
