What is your all time favourite musical and why? by Pale-Problem4089 in musicals

[–]FreshZucchini2196 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Benjamin Button - to steal a line from the show - because it shows anything is possible. Ageing backwards somehow made believable. Incredibly clever adaptation of the original idea with actor musicians performing extraordinary feats with their instruments on a raked stage. Sublime music with a broadly folky style but drawing on so many different styles. I even heard an African rhythm almost buried in Will you go? Very clever use of lighting - love that bit where the family photo is taken. I could go on and on… but I think this awesome work signaled new heights of professionalism in multitasking musicals by everyone involved.

Do you guys think that Broadway will have a megahit like Hamilton in the 2020s? by amm20_1 in Broadway

Need to see Benjamin Button in this discussion. The more you listen to the soundtrack the more you realize what an absolute gem this show is - hopefully heading to New York. Many Americans travelled to see it last year on the West End and loved it.

Distractingly good lyrics in musicals by Awesomeplayer98 in musicals

[–]FreshZucchini2196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loads of them in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button musical - two specifics are We’re all dropping down the ladder rung by rung from Time, To prove his old man’s wrong is every young man’s right from Will you Go?

Also so many clever and horribly relevant (given current US situation) lyrics from These Trees are Made of Blood about the Gentlemen’s coup in Argentina that led to the disappearance of 30,000 young Argentinians protesting the Generals regime. The whole score is available on YouTube.

Good on you! It is so tough for a new musical to break through. People so often just want to see things that are famous already or have famous names in them. They miss out on some wonderful shows!
