Thank you for writing this! I had never seen a production, only listened to the soundtrack a lot in college. It was the "get the paper written" music and often housework music too. So for me, the film filled in a lot of little logistical things that had never made sense, and was the first time I saw it all laid out. I loved it.

And I concur on the everybody crying thing-- when *mumblemumble* dies near the end, I could hear a bunch of sniffling around me. Awww.
