I have a couple of queries regarding the current poll. Firstly, it asks us to vote for our favourite "broadway" musical. By saying "broadway" I assume that means that angled strip in NYC around which most of the NY theatres are. So, does that mean we are being asked "Which of the current musicals on Broadway now (or recently) do you prefer?"? If so, I don't get it because there ain't too many of us here in godzown what get to go to too many "broadway" musicals. The voter base would be very small.

If the question should have been a more general "Which of these is your favourite musical?", why is there not somewhere for Leah and me to vote "None"?

'Aida' does indeed play on Broadway - take it from me - I was there not a year ago!! It's not the Verdi version, it's the (if I remember properly) Lloyd-Webber interpretation.

Of course, I never saw the show, so I have no idea how it rates, but I know that it was certainly playing on the famous strip. I don't think there was an elephant, unfortunately.

I did, however, see Bernadette Peters in 'Annie Get Your Gun', and Bebe Neuwirth in 'Chicago', but sadly missed out on David Hasselhoff playing 'Jekyll and Hyde'. Ah well - I suppose you can't win them all...
