I have no clue why this is one of the most successful musicals on Broadway of all-time. It doesn't really have a plot, and what little plot it does have never explains any of it. The music, minus 'Memory' isn't memorable or good. I actually thought Memory was outdone by the new song added to the movie, 'Beautiful Ghosts'. It was more interesting to listen to (and it doesn't help Jennifer Hudson oversings everything and has constant snot hanging out of her nose - CGI snot or real, no clue - but good lord it's distracting).
