Was lucky enough to get tickets w/ friends to see it in San Fran 2000. It was the opening even before Broadway, and it was awesome!!!!!!! I didn't realize then, how fortunate I was.
I LOVED the movie version too. So much fun. Different in some respects, but kept the basic concepts very much alive.
Actually took my in-laws to see the movie, and we all GROOVED! lol
