| Typical Swados. What the hell was THAT about? And how about writing a melody? | |

| One of my first professional gigs in Boston many years ago was MD-ing a production of Swados' Esther. An eccentric piece to say the least (and she, a rather enigmatic soul, and from what I can tell, as shy as they come), but it also had moments of very wonderful melody and music. I came out of that experience feeling like she was ultimately a very lazy writer, who could really turn out great stuff when she felt like it. Some people really believe in her writing. And that's fine. I'll stick with the word eccentric. ;-) | |

| I felt sorry for the MD of this piece...having to keep it all together. And I just listened to RUNAWAYS. Same schtick. Notes in search of a melody. I'm glad she had outlets to present her "moments". Not so glad for the audiences. And there was an understudy on for a major role (at the last performance!). So there was that. But it was kinda thrilling to have the legendary Anne Bogart announce the substitution in person before the show. |
