Thanks for asking.
It's been quite a while, so I don't remember exactly what made me find the solemnity of "Momma Look Sharp" unearned. I just remember that the change in tone seemed jarring, and I didn't feel the strong emotion that the song was trying to evoke. Of course, it didn't help that I hadn't enjoyed the show up to that point.
I don't know if I have a different reaction to this material than most, or if the revival didn't capture the spirit of the original Broadway production. |
