I've seen none of the adaptations nor have I read the book.
I've never read the book either but I feel like I have, because my little brother kept following me around reading it out loud to me. When he was 14, I basically had to tie him down to get him to read anything and yet somehow he decided to take it upon himself to read this monster of a book. He was really into Les Mis, I tell you!
saw Avenue Q on Broadway, and Annie when I was 8) on TV, and those were fine. I love The King and I,
I would LOVE to see Avenue Q sometime, that looks like fun! The cousin's little girl (age 8) was just in a local production of The King and I - she was freaking adorable in her little outfit.
It's just the singing of all the dialogue that I couldn't deal with. That would drive me crazy.
You know I didn't know anything about it when my older brother took me to see Les Mis for the first time and when it started up I was like, "Wait...Are they going to sing through the entire thing?" and I was really put off by it. But by the time they got to scene with the hookers (about 20 minutes in or so) I was hooked.
Have you ever seen Jackman's Oklahoma then? It's the only time I've ever actually liked the character of Curly, I am much more a Will-girl myself. But Jackman just kind of makes you fall in love with him no matter what he is doing. /sigh/
