| There are a million shows, films, books etc about collateral WWII stories. Some are wonderful, some awful and many in between. And naturally, people don't all find the same resonance in them. I think you can apply the same notions to CFA. For me, it was pretty flat-footed on almost every level (book, music, lyric, staging etc) Others found a lot more to enjoy than I did. At its core I thought this was about as deep as a Lifetime movie, and about as well written. Imagine for a moment what Spielberg (someone who has told a lot of small stories on a large canvas) would have done differently here. | |

| To that end, one of my favorite WWII movies is "A League of Their Own" (which would make for a great musical, actually). And I have many friends who think of "Die Hard" as a Christmas film (which would actually kind of make for an amazing Ivo Van Hove play, if you sort of picture it the right way). |

| I always watch "Lion in Winter" at Christmas. It is, ultimately, a holiday story. | |
