I saw this production in B'way back in 1994 and liked it a lot. Now, as years have gone by, my addiction to it has increased, probably due to the great amount of recent shows that do not deserve much attention. This is one of the theatrical events that surpass its origins. Being the Ettore Scola's movie a most enchanting production, this musical overpasses it in terms of poetical and romantic appeal. Some songs are simply awesome, like the opening "Happiness" and the most wonderful of all, "No one Has ever loved you". Donna Murphy and Gere OShea are wonderful both in singing as in acting. The story is beautiful and very moving. Possible future revivals might work even better in a small round-the-circle kind of stage rather than in the frontal, large scale production like the one I saw in B'way.
