Notes:
Sorry, fixed the date on the subs post. It should have read "first secret post will be January 29th," not the 22nd.

1. It was part of the British Invasion and Cameron Mackintosh produced it in full megamusical style--exporting replica productions around the globe, etc.
2. It's not written/structured/etc in traditional Broadway style--which isn't to say it's written like an ALW show either, just that it was nontraditional at a time when it felt like Broadway tradition was under attack from British blockbuster musicals.
But (and here I'm biased because I'm hardcore in the fandom for it) I think it's held up way better than most of its brethren. The other usual criticism of megamusicals--that they're all spectacle and lavish design, no substance--is only true insofar as the design is brilliant. But it's far from lavish--when you think about it, the set pretty much consists of the revolve and the barricade/slum and that's IT. It's as spare as you could possibly get, given the requirements of the plot.
And, of course, the score itself--independent of the staging and the super-commercialized way it was produced--stands on its own quite well indeed. :)
