I confess, I always forget that because I've read the book, and I own the OBCR, but I've never actually seen the show. So I don't remember exactly what the major plot points are.
I had heard "Defying Gravity" first, and I knew the context in which that song happens, so from the moment I heard "The Wizard and I" it broke my heart. I haven't seen the show, but Megan did around the time I was being unemployed and seeing Boheme a lot, and I remember her telling me about it, and how I'd find several things about it really emotionally hard, and I've always sort of kept that song in mind in that context.

I just love how darn hopeful that song is.

"May I have a Coca-Cola, please ma'am?"

Anytime he's mentioned, I imagine him as a teen in Rochester, going to their analog to LaGuardia and being awesome.

(Joel Gray-- similarly cute. He said hello to everyone that had brought kids to the party, and then demurely left. Lovely guy :)
