Does anybody see what I see?

Posted by: Chazwaza 07:34 pm EDT 08/13/14
Sometimes I just listen to something over and over, and marvel at it... revisiting it sometimes 5 times in one sitting, just to revel in how genius I think it is.

I caught myself doing that again today with Caroline Or Change... and sometimes I can hardly stand both how brilliant I think it is, and not just as a whole but so so many of the little parts that aren't even full songs that most people who saw it wouldn't even remember (I sure didn't after I saw it once)... and also, how under appreciated it is. I listen or watch and think "does anybody see what I see?!" (like John Adams does) I know lots of people saw what I saw and hear what I hear, certainly the people at the Public theater and the investors of the bway production... but for how brilliant I think it is, the ratio is very off for it's appreciation.

The same goes for The Wild Party (LaChiusa), and Bernarda Alba, and Once On This Island even, and even Sunday in the Park with George, despite even having won the Pulitzer and had an acclaimed revival, still feels under appreciated for how f*cking genius it is, in my opinion.

I'm sure others have these same feelings about certain shows. But just felt like saying it.
