PLAY OR MUSICAL??
WEB READER RESPONSE:
I like musicals, but then again not every story needs music to tell
effectively. I would consider why a musical contains music in the first
place. Hmmm interesting question. Could Eliza merely have said "I
could have danced all night" or could the phantom just say "listen to the
music of the night?.. well yes but it wouldn't mean as much to the
audience. On the other hand, could the rumor spread through Anetevka
without the music... yes. Or, thinking of it from a different view point,
could juror number 7 sing the part?
I think you could apply a rule used in drug development when creating a
combination product. The FDA will look at the safety and efficacy of
each drug individually and then look for an improvement in either safety
and/or efficacy when taken together.
