I would say it worked to not have an ensemble until they got to Something Just Broke which made zero sense and then for the finale they remained as not-assassins so the ending was robbed of its power.
I wonder if the original intent of the production was to cut Something Just Broke (it was actually missing from the song list in the program) but the rights holders refused permission. Had it been cut I think it would have worked well without the ensemble and then the assassins becoming more common people with the finale. |
