Such an important observation. Part of the poignant brilliance of "It's Quiet Uptown" is the use of Angelica as the access to this family's grief. In an interesting way, the verses are part of an overall arc for Angelica, as she is estranged from Alexander during the Reynolds affair, and then must mend her own heart as she relays the mending of the even more deeply broken hearts of Alexander and Eliza. I daresay, "It's Quiet Uptown" wouldn't be as powerful without Angelica's gravitas, and the eloquent words she sings are in sync with here demonstrated intellect and compassion (in contemporary parlance, perhaps her emotional I.Q.) elsewhere in the show.
