  1. Listened to Dear Evan Hansen on the recommendation of a middle-schooler. Thematically angsty but musically vanilla. Cookie-cutter angst. Meh

      Next in my occasional series of tepid musical reviews, a show whose title takes up too many chara: Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812

        Very ambitious, but lacking musical coherence/motifs that tie something that big together.

          I usually like self-awareness, but it does it with no sense of cheekiness or irony, so it feels like it’s either banal or trying too hard.

            There are a few good moments, though: clashing personalities singing in half steps, some nice slow solo songs.

              Also, comet C/1811 F1 was barely visible by January of 1812, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
