| Re: PARADE-- my thoughts

I'm sorry, but I find the score both young AND unsophisticated. It's a show-off score, but without any heart and without any soul. I have the same problem with La Chiusa. This stuff is like high school and college to me, with no originality, just derivative of Sondheim as so much of today's musical theater is. Even in the earliest Sondheim you can hear that distinctive voice of his. Jason Robert Brown has no distinctive voice and writes awkwardly both musically and lyrically. His score is harmful to Parade and never moves the show forward or involves you emotionally. And someone please explain to me what Farewell My Lila has to do with anything? I thought I was watching Shenandoah for a scary minute. As a scene or period setter it is confusing and doesn't work at all. Unfortunately, I do think the critics will like it and I think they are predisposed to praise Brown's work. There will be no fooling the audience, though. _______________________________________________________ to send email, remove <-nospam> from address
