I even bought the book based on this movie.  I will admit having never the chance to see New York, let alone the play that this movie is based upon, but that didn't stop me from learning all the words to the songs, and  watching it over and over when cable tv brought it out.  I even sat down in  front of the tv with a tape recorder, and taped the songs from the movie(!)  I liked it so much.  "Tomorrow" is a wonderful song, and I  thoroughly enjoyed Carol B's "Little Girls".  My mother, however,  was not pleased when I sang "Hard Knock Life" doing my share of  the housework!
