98. i have a soft spot for chess - "nobody's side"

Wed Oct 30, 2024, 11:40 AM

Oct 30

probably my first choice from the musical would be "the american & florence/nobody's side", although "opening ceremony", "the deal", and "one night in bankok" are high on the list.

(give me some assasins or sweeny toddy for overall favorite musicals)
