"Best Musical Since Passion"
This is what the Wall Street Journal theater critic has said about The Light In The Piazza.
I haven't seen it yet, so I need to know: is it the best musical since Passion?
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I thought someone said it was the best SCORE since passion......
And if what you say is true, then no - it's absolutely NOT.

Posted: 4/22/05 at 8:51pmI still read Teachout's reviews, but ever since he started talking about how much he dislikes the way Audra McDonald sings, I've been wary. He even mentioned "Audra McDonaldisms" in his Piazza review.

Posted: 4/22/05 at 8:56pmObviously the depth and brilliance of "Lamb Chop on Broadway" went right over his head. Shari Lewis WAS Lamb Chop.

Comparing anything to PASSION is damning it with faint praise.
