Trivia:

I can't explain... it's too great...

*Singing* Quidam, Quidam... la nuit recule... d'un reve a lautre tu valses.....

sorry, I just can't stop singing the song (I have the soundtrack and know the words).

Anyway, I saw the show a while back, and it just blew me away. Everything was so bright, colorful, graceful, dramatic.... I can't explain. Just read the other comments and watch it when you can. Trust me here, it's AMAZING.
