I have no doubt and envy your seeing it.

I heard that soundtrack from the time I was in the womb and throughout my childhood. Of course, I heard a lot of Broadway music while growing up (among other types of music) because both of my parents loved it.
I was able to cross another classic off my list of those I hadn't seen when I saw (and loved) Finian's Rainbow in NYC in 2009. Kismet remains elusive and one of my very favorites, Man of La Mancha I have only seen once.
I'm headed to NYC again next month to get another theater fix (and visit my sister.)
I, too, saw the revival of Finian’s Rainbow on B’way. I thought it was wonderful. The music is superlative and they handled the Senator turning into a black man in the most ingenious way.
I don't know if you're into straight plays but I would recommend War Horse as a B'way show. It's about horses during WWI; it's very brutal but one of the greatest theatrical events of my lifetime. Not everyone agrees with me but check out the reviews and see what you think. Cheers.
Glad some people THINK around here.
And love musicals!
