re: Is "Allegro" one of the more wrong-headed titles like "Goldilocks"?

In that the term "allegro" is an abstract term of art, it doesn't necessarily "sell" the show. (I felt the same way about Richard Greenberg's "The Assembled Parties"--when I saw it, I really enjoyed it and was moved by the writing and the acting, but had a difficult time retaining the title in my head when I wanted to tell people about it). But "Allegro" may have been a term that was part of more people's active vocabulary when the show was first done. I felt the same way about the title "Passion"--particularly as it didn't feel passionate to me.
