Title: I Just Don't Get It...
Review: I have never understood the fascination so many have for this show, I've seen it performed, watched the DVD, and have the C.D. I've spent hours trying to figure out why someone would call this "good musical theatre." I have seen more than 20 Broadway shows, own hundreds of musicals on CD and DVD.I have tried to really like this musical but, it's over dramatized, stupid, and lacks EVERYTHING someone would want from a musical. The characters are slow, stupid, there are a few comic moments but not enough to make the story a thought provoking jounrey. I haven't found a song yet on this CD that I truly enjoy."No One Is Alone" somehow manages to stand out but that's the only song I would listen to more than once. All in all I'd consider listening to a differant Sondheim classic for this is just simply not his best...
Is the review positive or negative?
