I took a different approach to this. Instead of thinking about who I consider to be great, I pulled up my iTunes to see who I actually listen to the most. The list, in order, is as follows:
1. Tom Kitt 2. Lin-Manuel Miranda 3. Jason Robert Brown 4. Jeff Bowen 5. Stephen Sondheim 6. Jonathan Larson 7. Andrew Lloyd Webber 8. Kander & Ebb 9. Lerner & Lowe 10. Marc Shaiman
Of this list, I'd say Sondheim is the best, but (even addi

Hey lovers! I'm back! NYC was ahmazing. 9 to 5 was hilarious. It was the perfect pic for our first night. I really enjoyed WSS too. I loved the Spanish, although the entire row behind us got a little bored/restless during those parts. Billy Elliot was a bit of a letdown after all the hype.

Stagey, I think last night marked the first time in my life I actually cared about the outcome of a football game.
I don't know how the hell I'm going to sit through my evening class tonight. I'm already dying for results and it's not even noon.

I saw Jessica on Saturday and thought she was great. I don't have anything to compare her to, but I think she held her own on that stage.

You must have read my mind, tabby. As much as I hate threads like this, I'd like to ask the same question, with one slight change. I'm planning on rushing a Saturday matinee. Should we get there when the box office opens, or would we still be safe if we went later in the day?

From In the Heights, when they're at the Club and Usnavi says, "As long as you buy 'em, L'chaim!" I don't know why, but it cracks me up every time.

J'adore LePetiteFromage. I was going to do that, too, but chickened out at the last minute. Oh, and no offense, Winston. It's just a joke.

Foster- I'm glad to hear that. I've never been to the Lyceum, so I really didn't know what to expect. I'm planning on visiting it in September, though, if the show holds out until then. Its current numbers really concern me.
