As much as I admire the score on CD, nothing compared to how it played on stage in the original production. It was extremely powerful and when the audience left the theatre and looked up to see the names of the ship's victims on the theatre wall, well, I personally felt it had a deeper emotional impact than the film in every possible way. It will be interesting to see how this plays as a chamber piece but I have a feeling I'll miss the tilting stage and the furniture sliding to simulate the sinking. That was striking. So was the scale of the piece yet, despite the show's size, it felt very much rooted in character. It was a marvelous show.
