So glad you finally got to see it. My family went to see it years ago, and being a typical adolescent teen I refused to go see it. I've been kicking myself ever since, as I've only heard fantastic things.
After reading this, its only aggravated me further. When I visit NY next year, I'll definitely add it to my list of things to do. Glad you and enjoyed it.
