The fact is that great musical pieces take and hold the stage because they provide great emotional experiences.

Why don't you ever wait a second and see what I'm planning, or thinking, before you burst in with your opinions and ideas? You never even give me a chance.

Honest to God, this is the absolute best kind of moment. The auditorium lights are off except for ones over the stage, and we're all bright eyed and giggle-drunk. I fall a little bit in love with everyone.

With the grace of hopeful heart, you can overcome emotional shocks.

So you should remember that, when you're thinking about what other people can deal with. Maybe it's not so bad.

Musical theatre history is littered with bad reviews for now classic pieces.
