Title: quirky with some great momments
Review: It's great to have a new William Finn score on CD. Like his previous "Marvin" trilogy (In Trousers, March of the Falsettos, and Falsettoland), the score not only reveals characters but moves the plot forward, as there is little spoken dialogue. There are some outstanding individual songs..."And They're Off" is my particular favorite with its constant movement and drive. The bridge seems to come out of nowhere...and I like the way Finn constantly surprises you with his music. "The Music Still Plays On" is a lovely ballad that deserves a life beyond the show. In this age where so few shows with new scores are produced, this one definately deserves a hearing.
