I dearly love this musical. This script is the original, not the revival, and I liked seeing the differences between stagings and lyrics, since I practically know the revival by heart. The production can't be done justice by just reading it, but know that this musical is clever and ridiculous and moving. No one is without faults in the story, yet the final events are nobody's fault. A true work of art testifying to the uncontrollable nature of life.
