For me, "The Visit" is a musical about a guy who has to deliver his friend's death sentence, and attempts to do it in a way that assuages his guilt and leaves his hand clean.
The night I saw The Visit (which I think is one of the most brilliant and underrated musicals of the last quarter-century, but that's for another thread), the rather tepid audience burst into adoring cheers after Danieley's solo. And I remember just sitting there thinking my God, this voice hasn't aged a day in twenty years.
But I digress... |
