Visually, the show was bound to get swallowed up in a 6,000-seat house. But acoustically? You couldn’t ask for a better way to hear this glorious score. The sound is, well, as the production says, Spectacular.

Most important, the concert sounds glorious. The 2006 and 2014 Broadway revivals lost some of the musical’s power by downsizing the orchestra. Here, the larger ensemble restores the surging transitions, recurring themes and massive climaxes that pull the audience along. It makes a substantial difference in the show’s grip and emotional power.
