After she goes in the drug store, the musical should end. He should have written one final number for the three of them. She questioning if she made the right choice--take care of the kids or travel the world and Naples with the photographer, her husband wondering what happened that weekend but afraid to ask and possibly lose her, the photographer singing he always loved her and no one else and carried her picture with him until he died--looked at before dying. It could have been a very powerful closing song for all three with backup chorus and very satisfying ending. Instead we have a drawn out ending showing us the kids are successful--who cares, her husband growing old and dying--don't need to see it and the photographer retiring and asking about a phone call. Just a very boring ending to what could have been a really fine musical. Maybe we need a bridges 2.0 like Scarlett pimpernel. They really need to change the ending if the want regional productions. This won't get a national tour and probably not a London production at this point.
