    It's a damn fine soundtrack. I especially like that every song isn't pitched in every singer's belt zone.

    Saw Hadestown in the Fall and easily in my top-5 musicals ever. Loved it. Also saw Jagged Little Pill just before Christmas and enjoyed that a lot too. Highly recommended although I though the standing o after You Outta Know was a little much.

    Saw the Seattle 5th Avenue pre-Broadway test for Mrs. Doubtfire. Much much better than I expected, don't know that it will have staying power once it reaches Broadway but it was a pleasant surprise. The previews in Seattle were positive enough that the run was extended a few weeks which is not normal here.
