Finally…

Confession: I’ve been very reluctant to admit how much I’ve loathed this show. Not anymore. Finally, someone admits to disliking WSS about as much as I do. Never liked the thing, not the demeaning portrayal of the “exotics” and not the story.

But even something this awful has some redeeming qualities. Music students use the opening of “Maria” to memorize the interval of a tritone and “America” demonstrates hemiola rhythm quite nicely. There are some other interesting moments for music nerds.

I recently had a chance to see it again for free. Great cast, of course, but I could only take one act.
