And although we still lack the homosexual versions (lesbian and gay) I see you are still working on it (reliving your traumata, still waiting for the karthesis?). But doesn't the TV show reveal who Maria really was? Think of what she had to do to become a nun (maybe singing Big Spender tells some of her history). And in that context "Climb every mountain" gets a totally different touch, too , when you think of it.
