I think the song I enjoy most is "All for the Best," where they're singing two different melodies at the same time. I don't know what that technique is called - Frank Loesser used it quite often. I heard many of the songs performed at Mass in the late 1970's - they actually worked quite well in liturgy.

The play is based on the Gospel of Matthew, and I think it does a good job of portraying the basic message of Matthew. I try to watch the movie once a year, usually at Easter.
