SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS with Raul Esparza @ Lincoln Center
I’m enjoying it, the melodies are great, the band rocks. I like the dog eat dog world of it all, but then it turned a little sappy. It reminds me of a rock opera from the British ovation where there’s no traditional book scenes. There’s underscoring almost entirely throughout with barely any moments of reprieve or clarity. But that’s just my thoughts after act 1.
