OK, I finally saw it! I knew the most important plot points from hearing other people talk, but I can't really absorb soundtracks or songs without watching the performers, so it was only now I actually saw or heard it.

And, well, for me it was really amazing -- all those emotions which I'd *expected* to have, I experienced them just like I expected!

ghoti's enjoyment was rather impaired by some unfortunate things about this production which hadn't had the same impact on me though, if that makes a difference to you you should probably check with her.

I don't have a whole lot extra to say, "just like everyone said" covers most of it :) I enjoyed it pretty much continuously all the way through. All the actors were great. I especially loved the cabinet rap battles, the federalising monetary policy one and the keeping faith with France one. Like the American chopper meme, I want more things explained as high energy arguments where I can see both sides! :)

I may have some more overall thoughts when I've mulled it over some more :)
