This is my favorite musical so I really can't give it any less than 5 stars. It's so, so, so good and so important to me. I've seen it on tour, watched several bootlegs (shhhhh), and I listen to the cast recording all the time. But still, there were many moments of revelation for me in the actual text of the script. I loved reading this so much and would highly recommend other fans of the show to do so as well.
If you don't know anything about this musical, I definitely still recommend reading the script. But I think you should get a copy of the soundtrack first and maybe listen along with it. There are a lot of overlapping lyrics and it can be hard to figure out how they work if you've never heard the actual songs before. Or, better yet, find a production near you and see it!

I've loved this show for six years so it's only fair that I finally read it

I understand the importance of having a musical like this but I’m just not a fan. Only one or two songs stuck out to me…the others sounded like generic contemporary use music. And again with the superfluous use of “fucking”…
