thebitterguyOkay, so, yeah, Snra & I took the show in this past Tuesday. What to say?
I enjoyed it, yeah. Could have used a nice pair of glasses, as we were jammed way back in the balcony. The score was okay, but none of the songs really stuck out, and the music didn't serve to set the characters apart.
In some musicals, a piece will establish a character's musical 'hook', but there didn't seem to be that in this. The characters had their dramatic hooks setup (and shall I say that I saw the Wizard's 'revelation' coming a MILE away), but no melodic signatures seemed to be established for any characters.
Which is odd because, well, the main character has one of the most famous ones ever.
Ah, well. Enjoyable show, indeed. The costumes were well done, but I think something should have been done to differentiate the various tertiary characters. They all looked the same, except for the fat girl with the sticking up hair at Shiz.
