Lovin' it
I loved the movie and stage play so much that I wanted to get the book. After reading through it, I found that I didn't catch half of the cool things that were said!

My grandaughter was so happy to get this book. She had seen this stage play in NYC, and now can look back on it through this book. Great gift for those so completely into musical stage plays.
