At the time, the show was seen as very derivative. Most of the songs seem to be modeled on other songs from classic musicals and the emotional manipulation of the libretto is even more obvious than most musicals.
This why even though the songs individually make strong impressions, the whole is less satisfying. Listening to the cast album is a much better way to experience this show than seeing a production. |
