| People adore this show. It's struck deep chords, it moves hundreds eight times a week. It doesn't need my vote. But this is a theater board, and I add my thoughts because I find its narrow focus an odd one. It isn't because I expect one 90 minute musical to make definitive statements about 9/11, or that I expect war stories to be boilerplate. I do not grasp why these grounded planes are the stuff of drama. It's just my reaction. I've even re-framed most of my postings as based on the album and seeing multiple clips. As I've noted, I've been posting on this piece since I started to listen to the complete score. A number of people chimed in with similar reservations. This new weighing in has grown out of a question, "Why didn't this win the Tony?" I didn't open a new thread to denigrate something beloved by so many, merely to respond to a worthwhile query. When I see the show in early September, I will absolutely eat every syllable if I change my opinion. I've done it here before. |
