But wouldn't each kid need individual lessons on how to play each specific instrument properly. Wouldn't River City need more than one experienced teacher? Of course, the show is a fable. It's probably best not to analyze every detail that does not really make sense. I agree that Preston's performance is one of the all-time greatest. In addition, the score and libretto are priceless.
The current revival is enjoyable, especially for diehard fans of Jackman and Foster who are not more demanding. I just wish they hadn't made so many changes in lyrics and dialogue, and I wish they hadn't cut a song and also some of the text. |
