just listen to the original Broadway production. Even my kids love it and they are in their twenties. It is one of the most fabulous scores ever written. As opposed to other plays who I think can come across as outdated this does not. It combines Latin and Jazz along with great lyrics. Never close your mind isn't that what liberals are supposed to embody.
