I'm just whelmed.  Not over, not under.  Just whelmed.

Well that was...serious. Long and serious, and not very theatrical.


Behind the fake tinsel of Broadway is real tinsel.

Yikes.  I really love his score to Matilda, but I didn't really care for this.

Wow, surprised by the reaction...I actually loved the song. I'm excited to hear more.

 

Yes, Minchin is a comedian, but he isn't only a comedian...he writes more than just comedic stuff.

I dig it!  It's a beautiful tune and clearly comes at the end of the show where Phil Conners has his revelation so it really doesn't have to be "funny." I suspect (or at least hope) the humor exists prior to this musical moment. I look forward to hearing more.

I didn't care for it at first, but once the drums joined in, it grew on me. I hope this show is good. I'm going to try my best not to compare it to Matilda. Which will sadly be quite difficult.

It wasn't what I expected, but I thought it was really nice. I liked it.
