I saw Les Mis in New York three times, and I think in Boston once.I love the score for Chess. I've never seen a production of it, but have the OBC, the OLC, two different concert versions and the Dutch cast recording of it.
Pity the Child easily would make a list of top songs from musicals for me.
I guess they made a musicals thread for us to continue this discussion, however I must say that "Nobody's Side" is one of my favorite songs period. I saw "Chess" in Houston at TUTS and it was done very well, although I prefer to the original story to the one they used in Broadway and after performances. As an ABBA fan though, I have to say I was really disappointed in Mamma Mia. What were your thoughts?
