Wow, my apologies for what I've missed out.

I've been looking at people's tier lists on r/musicals to formulate these lists.

I also went on a binge and watched all 3 Annies, and Newsies. Newsies is a good musical, the politics are right. Took me watching the live version to really fall in love with it.

Like everything, the more you watch, the more you see, the more you appreciate a genera.

You couldn't have a better title to a memoir in these times. You can read about Humbert Humbert, and other male narratives, but the female narrative of the statutory rape is fulfilled by this book. I feel slightly ill while reading this book. What she goes through is off, and it's hard to put a finger on it besides  Hebephilia . All the collaborating details from her mother, to her doctors, to her father. Vanessa Springora will be remembered for other things, she is a director and a publisher.
