Title: A star can shine through the thickest sludge
Review: Song and Dance is without a doubt a bad show. I won't reach for any zinging insults; it isnt worth it. The show is just bad. A dumb story (which, as Frank Rich pointed out, is brimming with overt misogynism) told entirely in Mr. Lloyd Webber's oh-so-special brand of europop. Bernadette Peters actually makes us care what's happening; she is excited, she is upset, she is happy, she is distant, she is wonderful. She needs better material! For every Sunday in the Park with George there is a Goodbye Girl . . . its a shame. Anyway, thank goodness the recording doesn't show off Mr. Lloyd Webber's Paganini variations; the piece is nearly unlistenable, although i didn't expect much more. Do not waste money on this relic of the 80's unless you are a sincere fan of Bernadette Peters. Even then, don't buy it - you will only feel sorry for her.
