- Probably more thoughts that you wanted: - MDH Apr 15, 09:37
- Hamilton / Come From Away / & Juliet are all great. I would love to see Funny Girl and Kimberly Akimbo. Haven't seen the others but certainly would. -- nm - Andie Apr 15, 09:30
- 0. But I like that the print does not get smaller. -- nm* - Spawn Apr 15, 09:30
