"I think it is certainly an important piece of musical theater." Why? A fair question. I don't think the show is completely successful, mostly because they haven't quite bent the original story to fit the two hours traffic of the stage; but Friedman's score uses his gift for stylistic mimicry as an integral part of building the world of the play. This was amazing, and in my experience unique. He's so good at it that the one time he goes more into quotation then emulation ('play that funky music') was the only musical letdown for me.
