That and am still bitter about censoring the Fucks outs.
If you are talking about the two spots in Act 2 relating to the affair, I didn't know they did that, but I honestly think it's simultaneously a LOT funnier without losing any of the drama by doing it the way they did.
As far as ranking this one among other musicals, I'm not sure. I'd definitely put it up near the top, but not sure whether I would put it at #1. I see that Les Mis gets high marks in this thread, but while I liked it, I didn't think it was great. I'd put it somewhere in the middle. I'd probably put either Hamilton or Jeckyll and Hyde up at the top. When I saw the original on Broadway in the late '90s, I thought it was fantastic. But then when I saw their traveling cast perform it in L.A. at the Pantages, I thought it was really, really bad. Funny how the caste can make such a difference.
For Hamilton, I've only seen the filmed version, and I know the camera work and editing adds a lot to it. But, man, the choreography and blocking are SO good. They convey SO much with such a simple stage, and it is brilliant how they do some of what they do. But, yeah, going back to what I said in the other thread, when my kids played me some of the songs, I thought they were good, but wasn't immediately impressed. When I watched it the first time, it wasn't until a good ways into Act 1 that I was able to get past that and began to be thoroughly impressed. It isn't perfect, but it is very well done. And has plenty of emotion. After seeing it a dozen or so times, there are still parts that easily choke me up.
