Exactly! I loved it when I was 16, and I still do at 30! Usually I kind of forget it for a while, and then a song randomly comes up on my ipod and I have to stop everything and listen to the entire soundtrack and sing and gesticulate passionately as I do housework.
A few years ago I was living with my aunt in Chicago, babysitting and looking for jobs. I went to babysit for this hyper-literate liberal upscale suburban household, and three minutes after i met the kids, the six year old boy said "Ask her, Mom!" The mom rolled her eyes and was like "He wants to know if you like this musical called Les Mis..." clearly thinking the odds weren't good that I knew it. I was like "*Know* it??? I LOVE IT!!!!" It was like the best working night of my life. We sang all night - the boy even played some of the songs on a guitar! His four year old sister even knew some of the words too! Those kids were made of WIN.
