I thought the show's problem was more structural than anything else. It switched between stories too frequently, which led to two related problems: it was hard to get absorbed in either story, and the constant shifts were just plain distracting. I thought it might have been more effective if we had only switched stories a couple of times per act and the shifts were like mini-act endings. But I still don't know how fascinating a show with city planning as a central focus could really be. Good cast, though. And five or six really good songs sprinkled among the average ones and the two or three clunkers.
