There is nothing lazy about the construction of this musical; it is firing on all cylinders throughout, delivering a truly original musical comedy story that makes great use of pre-existing songs. To me, it's not that different from, say, "Crazy for You". You may not enjoy the form, but don't diminish the work that went into creating this very satisfying evening.
The highlights of my theater going this past week were "& Juliet" and "Some Like It Hot", which make a very strong argument that musical comedy is thriving on Broadway. |
