I fell in love with this musical when it came out in 1985...I started high school in 1986 and joined show choir....and my live affair began. I've seen it 6 times....know every song every character. I am not a Russell crow fan never have been so i was disappointed in that choice. I was a fan of hugh Jackman as wolverine but not this role and Anne Hathaway was princess diaries....I'm so glad they all suprised me with awesome performances...love it!
