re: 13 - Insulting and Amaturish.

I saw 13 in its very first preview in LA and really didn't care for it at all. I thought it was juvenile and stupid, but there were a few really beautiful moments in the score. Then, I went back towards the end of the run and was completely swayed. It made a lot more sense to me, and, a few HUGE flaws aside, it was enjoyable, and the score was fantastic and infectious.
That said - it sounds to me that the numerous changes from then (early 2007) to now (late 200 have done nothing to improve the show, as the changes during previews and performances at the Taper did. It seems like they got a little too happy with the eraser and the red pen and "fixed" it more than was necessary. It is a shame, really, because I actually thought it had potential.

And it also seems like he purposely discredits a lot of the In the Heights score to explain why Passing Strange "won."

Here are a few that I've thought of while reading this thread:
The harmony in "Move On" when Mandy and Bernadette sing together on the OBCR of Sunday in the Park.
The piano at the very end of Act One in Piazza.
Christine Ebersole singing "I miss him today, and tomorrow, and I always will" in "My Son" from Bright Lights, Big City, and how it changes to "Four lithium carbonate tablets a day and I'm swell. Like hell. Don't tell my son." Chilling.

I think I'm in love with Matthew Morrison.
