Has anyone seen Aida? I just did and I thought it was wonderful. Just wanted to see if anyone else had any comments about it.

Yep, I love that musical! 
It was the first Broadway musical I ever liked and it was also the first musical I got to see on Broadway which was really cool. I saw it just about a month before it closed. Adam Pascal had come back so it was awesome to see him. The musical was great overall though, it's sad it closed.

oh i LOVED Aida. I was lucky enough to see it in Manhatten a few years back when I was visiting on vacation. The music in it was fantastic, as was the acting. Haha, the ending WAS very sad tho. I couldnt believe it.

Seen the original version--the Verdi opera on which the musical is based. I have the CD to the musical though--some good songs on it. I especially liked that one that Amneris sings about her wardrobe (I think the Spice Girls did it as a pop song).

My friend, that describes the plotline of many an italian opera.
Honestly. You could be talking about Tosca, Cavalleria Rusticana, La Gioconda, Adriana Lecouvreur, Norma, Aida, etc.Aida, though, has a jealous woman, Amneris the Egyptian princess. She has the power to save Radames, but when he tells her he won't give up the woman he loves (Aida), she refuses to help him. He goes to his death for treason and Aida chooses to share his death rather than live a life without him.

Unfortunately, I did not get to see it, but I would absolutely love to. I own the soundtrack and I have read the score and the libretto to both the musical and the opera, but I've never seen it performed.
I love "Strongest Suit," which is the one sung by Amneris about her wardrobe, but I think my favorite song from the musical is "Dance of the Robes."
