And I thought the opening number was kind of classic Broadway style.
I find there are some definite William Finn influences in the score. And the story (compare Usher to Gordo in A New Brain). There's something rather Falsettos-ish about that opening number, and other spots in the score as well. (And that's praise - I'm not trying to say that Jackson's work is derivative). And I think that style fits this show and there characters - in the same way that it does NOT sound right in the voices of the Peanuts characters as re-interpreted by Lippa, where it makes no sense at all. |
