Title: a surprise hit :-)
Review: After doing an Ahrens and Flaherty review at my university, I became drawn to the 2 songs "The Streets of Dublin" and "Love Who You Love". After the show closed, I got my hand on a copy of the whole musical and I haven't stopped listening to it for about a week.The ability of Ahrens and Flaherty to put you in such a distinct place and time is so evident here. The music and voices are about as Irish as you can get. Each of the singers are perfect, the stanadouts being Jessica Molaskey as Mrs Patrick, and Steven Pasquale as Robbie faye. My favorite songs in the recording have to be the two I already mentioned, "Our Father" and the haunting "Confusing Times"No, it's not the multilayered, epic story of Ragtime, and it doesn't have to be. "A Man of No Importance" is a lovely, heart-wrenching story about a man looking for his honest place in the world, and will make a fine addition to your showtune collection.
Is the review positive or negative?
