Beat ya! I got mine at 1:05 p.m. ;D (I don't know why they made the appointment for 1:05 instead of just 1:00, but I don't really care. ;D )

Actually I was kidding, but the author of that article seems to see some validity in the comparison. I skimmed it pretty fast because the author is a scholar and most technical musical stuff is over my head.
We'll have to ask Lin-Manuel Miranda, who proved that rap can be a big hit on Broadway!
I considered adding Rex Harrison, who I remembered speak-singing his songs in My Fair Lady. But I took a quick look at "Why Can't the English Teach Their Children How to Speak?" and he's actually carrying a bit of a tune.
I also saw enough to conclude the show wouldn't go over very well today -- very classist, for one thing. I realize Prof. Harold Hill is supposed to be a bit of a snob, but that's not emphasized enough.
Sometime between then and now (probably late '60s, I would guess) aristocrats lost a lot of their coolness cred.
Plus, I've always resented the movie for dumping Julie Andrews, the star of the play, for Audrey Hepburn, whose singing had to be dubbed.

I got the Moderna, and I believe that after 2 weeks I'm considered "immune", but I don't think that's true.
