The Mormons may be happy and joyous in that finale, but I wasn't. And as I read it, the question was: what was the last high water mark for joyousness on Broadway? I would agree that it was "Hairspray". For me, "Mormon" is working too hard with too little return, and the story (such as it is) is messy and poorly structured. Of course, that may well prove to be true of "SpongeBob".

No. The statement was that Spongebob is the most joyous musical SINCE Hairspray and I suggested Mormon was the most joyous musical since Hairspray. So the question was is Spongebob as joyous as Mormon.

Not quite. The statement was that Spongebob was the most joyous musical SINCE Hairspray, and you remarked that Mormon is pretty damn joyous.

That can be interpreted to mean that Mormon is the new benchmark for most joyous, but that isn't the only interpretation based on the words you used... particularly for those of us who didn't find Mormon to be all that joyous. Frankly, if Spongebob is only as joyous as Mormon, I'll be disappointed, but I'm in the minority.

This a fairly semantic and unimportant disagreement, but if you're going to draw a line in the sand over it, I have to point it out.

You're wrong.
