This ought to be enough to bring this into NY. At least for a non-profit run. I think some additional sinister tone to the music would be great. I have to say, as he explains it, I understand where and why he has reservations about the tone. i think that more of a juxtaposition between the love story and the way it is musically represented with additional,components of the "sinister" nature would make this even more moving for me than it is already. I do not write musicals so I do not know where Kander would address this but I imagine he does. Though it is a mixed review overall and I think Brantley thinks this is as good as it will ever be, it nonetheless feels like a valid New York entry. Just reading all of the reviews, had I not seen it, I would say that this no longer feels like a show in need of major repair.,just tailoring perhaps. Here's hoping. This show will apparently always be flawed for many people and for others, I guess it will never work at all. But, many people seem to be as affected by it as I am. i think Brantley validates the enterprise and it will hopefully come in as a a Broadway show that people,debate and talk about. Have not done that with a musical in years. For me, that is exciting.
