   I did see it. I loved how gritty and beautifeul it was at the same time. I think I enjoyed Anne Hathaway the most. Her level of emotional connection with the songs she sang was outstanding.

   I saw it years and years ago when it played at the Curran Theater in San Francisco.  I loved it.  I bought the soundtrack.
   I wish I had been able to see it 2 more times, at least.  It's one of those shows in which there is so much happening that it is difficult to take it all in on a single visit.
   I would have liked to see it three times:
   
   Once to marvel at and study the staging and scene changes (I was with an amateur theater company at the time);
   Once for the action/dialog/story line;
   and finally, once just for the music.
   
   "Do you hear the people sing; singing the song of angry men..."  One of my favorites from that show, and very apropos for today's political climate as well...
   
   After seeing it, I wrote a poem inspired by the show--and it is published here among my hubs.

      I'll have to check out the poem, and I loved the music as well! I just saw the movie and now I really want to see the play... might have to wait though cause I'm sure prices will spike since it was just in movie.
