This is like one of my parents' FAVOURITE musicals (other favourite musicals of theirs: Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, The Music Man, you get the picture), and so I saw it like ninety times growing up and now whenever I hear even just a few notes of "Sunrise Sunset" I scream and flee. But you make me want to read the book! It sounds fantastic.
