thanks for taking the time to reply so thoughtfully and thoroughly

yes, these epic "source material"
cum musicals tend to be executed in terms of plot points rather than musicals - at least, Wicked had the sense to dramatize what is essentially
one page and 1/2 of the novel, I understand

when I saw Fantasia in Color Purple September 2007, the book seemed to be
just skittering from plot point to plot
point just to credit major moments of the book-film

Fiddler, She Loves Me, and some others
do more in terms of characterization
and musical effects than the blockbusters which tend to bombard with thrills rather than find depth and generate honest sentiment

re Wildhorn, your response to B&C is interesting because many considered this his almost breakthrough to greater
musical craft
