You knew right away with "Look What Happened to Mabel," which Peters endearingly knocked out over our heads in the Opera House. The show felt out of focus, bloated, and digressive at times. But the songs, we knew right then, were great show music. I remember feeling "meh" but "can't wait to get the album." |
