Title: Of course, difficult.
Product review: Like all other great works in the canon of American Theater, Stephen Sondheim's Bounce is a difficult musical to grasp. And unlike many other fans of the show, I can see why the show didn't work. The score, while very much a traditional musical comedy, isn't very tuneful. Similar to Kushner's Caroline, Or Change, Bounce is filled with lots of repetition of musical themes with lots of great subtle changes each recurrence. Some highlights from the show are "Talent," "You," "Bounce," "Addison's Trip," and "The Best Thing That Ever Has Happened." So overall, fans of Sondheim should love this great recording and I for one hope Sondheim doesn't tinker around with the show but instead lets it gain appreciation over time.
