| Someone here suggested that Shipoopi had been rewritten to be politically correct. So the sadder but wiser girl is not denigrated, etc. But if this point of view is not expressed, then where’s the arc for Harold Hill to fall in love with Marian in a very special and new way he’s never before experienced? Wasn’t it implied that he’s had, used, and cast aside many Marians before, but this time is different? It sounds like another instance where political correctness may be flattening the humanity and the authenticity in a story line. Yes? (I didn’t see this version, but, come on, Marian is different. That’s part of the point of the play.) And, until this time around, Hill always was a kinda schmuck. |
