Calling all you musical theatre fans!

From "Show Boat", the genesis of the American musical, to "Wicked" today, everyone has their own idea of what is the quintessential American musical.

(and despite "Contact", a musical is any show in which the score of the show is used to advance or illuminate the plot.)

For me, it is a toss-up between "Guys & Dolls" and "Gypsy."

So...the question is thus:

From Kern who invented it
To Rodgers & Hammerstein who perfected it
From Cole Porter who gave wit to it
To Moose Charlap, who got lit to it.
From Bernstein who contributed his sense of mod urbanity
To Sondheim's minor thirds which make you question your humanity.
From dear Jerry Herman whose works glorify it,
To mensch Sheldon Harnick whose shows "oy-ify" it!
From Lerner, to Loesser, to Schwartz, and to Strouse
What American musical's tops in your house?

She is given a side, patriot or British, and needs answer a few questions. The problem is most U.S History books are slightly biased. The usually only give the U.S. pov. What do British History books say about the same incedent. The questions are as follows:Who am I? (patriot or British) Why I did what I did? Why the other side did what they did? How I feel about my actions? What I would do differently if I had it to do over again? How this event changed history?

GOD is in controll, his only begotten son JESUS could save one from their sin's if only you believe in his saving grace.

Without GOD and his son or the Holy Spirit, we are left to spend our life in hell with the Devil. Heaven is real and so is Hell.....

I choose Heaven which do you(It's a personal chose) do you choose to believe?

Is it because it's become really popular the last few years, or is it some sort of personal vendetta against good books?

I just told someone over the computer I liked the books, and they wouldn't stop laughing and taunting me. I ended up having to block them on AIM. I am just a bit confused about this.

It is addictive but not as addictive as tobacco so it should be alright, shouldn't it?
I have a couple of famous people who will advertise it for free but they want a percentage of the final sales.

Should I tell the tax man?

It will be a nice earner and my kids can go to college I might even be able to buy a private jet and an island.

I WILL fund one of the political parties if this takes off so I should be alright.

Well, besides the fact that he does know something and that thing is that he knows nothing, but still, do you think this is the truest statement a person can come with? Do you have a better statement that holds more "truth"?
