| I don't think the dimming of their "luster" is undeserved. Their Oscar win is what was undeserved. And, in my opinion, their Best Score Tony. And I would also say that even having a live tv production of A Christmas Story the musical was undeserved. | |

| "And I would also say that even having a live tv production of A Christmas Story the musical was undeserved. However you feel about Pasek and Paul, I think it goes without saying that the choice of A CHRISTMAS STORY for live TV production was based on the familiarity of the title (from the original movie) and the subject matter rather than on anyone's opinion of the quality of the songs in the musical. |

| The NY Magazine review (quoted above) absolutely supports your POV, citing lyrics from both "Evan" and La La." It is the first to contextualize the voice of the lyrics and find a prosaic quality in the expressed emotion. | |
