My experience: Well, I haven't seen it . .YET! I will do anything in my power to see it, 'cause it's my favorite musical. There, I said it! I want to star in a revival of it when I grow up. It's go THE BEST music. It's hard to pick a favorite song 'cause, even though I do have a favorite, it feels like I'm not giving the other's enough credit.
