Now that posts are staying much longer, I can simply link to the old thread. I don't think I have much to add to the posts I wrote there specifically about the show.

This does make life easier. :)

I actually find "Welcome Home" prettier when Cott sings it with the original tempo. But that's another issue.

The song has a kind of visceral power in performance, because Osnes commits fully to singing verses to the individual band members, and when finally gets to Cott/Donny, it's personal and -- I'll just add -- got me.

I don't think it's a perfect song either, but I cannot deny its power in context.

(Would still love to hear what you think of my comments on the design elements. I landed on something that has not been discussed in detail -- the complete abandonment of naturalism.)
