| It's a minor number because it doesn't advance the story and doesn't illuminate the inner lives of major characters. In Chicago, originally a Bob Fosse musical in which dance played a major part, Class was a sit down number with no dancing at all. The song has a couple of good jokes, but I strongly disagree with labeling it a great song. And yes, even good numbers are cut from musicals all the time, often because they slow the pace and prove to be distractions from the plot. |
