| I relistened to the score the other day and it just reaffirmed how I felt in the theater... outside of some enjoyable folky joy/drama music and chorus work, the music is bland and the lyrics are generally really subpar... and above all it is so much a mountain out a molehill story. It felt legitimately silly how dramatic they wanted the audience to think it was that they were waiting on a plane, and waiting more, and they were put on a bus, and driving and driving, and oh it was dark! A monster might come eat them who knows! Knowing this was happening during 9-11 made it feel all the more crazy to me that anyone takes the basically stake-free drama of this story so much to heart... and the one person with real drama, the mother of the first responder at ground zero, she doesn't even get a song to play out the emotion of that story. I'm still amazed so much people respond so well to this show, but diff'rent strokes I guess. |
