5 minutes in and I far prefer the direction and choices She Loves Me more than Falsettos. Not sure if they had more cameras, but I like the wide angle where you can see the whole stage, also like how they’re showing the whole show with Audience reaction and not fading out between songs like Falsettos did in places.

They probably did have more cameras, as I believe She Loves Me was originally filmed for BroadwayHD

I watched She Loves Me tonight and, for a personal reason that I'm not going to go into -- nothing about the production, which was great! -- it's not a show that I want in my life. I bought the cast recording a while ago -- the 2016 one, Benanti/Krakowski/Levi -- and hadn't listened to it yet. Anyone want it? First person to message me your name and mailing addie, I'll send you the CD.

You sound like fun."
Not going to lie, I also don't love the score - it's fine but not one I'd listen to for fun. However, how can you not love the musical and this particular cast and production as a whole. This was my second time watching - I wish I could have caught it live - and I was smiling throughout. Its ability to bring me just a bit of lighthearted joy amidst the problems of the real world is reason enough for me to watch and love... but to each their own.
I saw the original BroadwayHD showing. It was a live broadcast from Studio 54 - no special close-up cameras, no cut-ins, no do-overs.
Huh? What are you talking about? I have on DVD the original livestream performance and there were indeed close-ups, different camera angles, etc.
The Thursday performance was live streamed but the previous day, both the 2pm matinee and 8pm Wednesday performances were filmed. The version now being used by BroadwayHD, and what PBS broadcast, is edited from these 3 performances, the live streamed performance being the main performance used mostly.

Are you sure you like musicals?"
I do - very much! But I will cop to being more of a contemporary/pop/rock opera kind of gal. I didn't say I hated the music, and I enjoy it in connection with the show itself. I just don't "love" it and wouldn't listen to it on its own. That's all. Perhaps I worded it more strongly than intended.

Or perhaps something in the story (which deals with both adultery and suicide) hits a little too close to home. No need to be catty about it.
