Have you actually seen it? Not a masterpiece. A pretty good show, but not a masterpiece.

It is kind of a masterpiece.  I've been following this show for a while and it's still becoming even more perfect.  They've been able to tell a beautiful story in such a creative and successful way.

The Visit is definitely one of Kander and Ebb ' s best shows.  I don't think that the score is getting the respect that it deserves.  It's pretty flipping great.

The Last Ship is a good score... but not a great one.  It shows that Sting should continue to write for theatre, but it's not his masterpiece.

Something Rotten is entertaining and fun, but it's nothing very special.  It's sort of bland.

okayyyyyyyy goooooooood forrrrrr youuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!

 

And jv92, I would actually say it is the best score written in 50 years in my opinion. I look at the great scores written since 50 years ago:

Man of La Mancha

Mame

Sweet Charity

On a Clear Day...

Cabaret

The Apple Tree

Zorbá

Two By Two

Follies

A Little Night Music

The Grass Harp

Mack & Mabel

Chicago

Pacific Overtures

Carmelina

Nine

Merrily We Roll Along

La Cage

The Rink

Once On This Island

Kiss of the Spider Woman

The Wild Party

Next to Normal

The Scottsboro Boys

 

I like The Visit's score more than any of those, so for me personally, it's the best score written in 50 years.

I think the i Would Never Leave You song is about Claire showing off how much power she wields over those pathetic individuals. It's her feeding her need for control.

Fun Home is a masterpiece and should easily win best score.   I wish they had an award for best new song.    I think "Ring of Keys" would win.

I agree The Visit. The score is absolutely beautiful.

I agree that The Visit is great, but I'm not sure that I agree that it's the best score in 50 years.  It's pretty spectacular and it deserves to be considered one of the best though.

I wouldn't say that it's THE best, but it's among some of the best.

I haven't made myself familiar with the newer changes that have been made to its score though (I'm still listening to some old recorded audience version), but I can't imagine that it's suddenly become the greatest musical ever.

"While I don't think Fun Home is Tesori's career best (that still belongs to Caroline, or Change), I feel it is stronger than the other nominees and that Tesori is long overdue. "

My thoughts exactly. But even if she had won Best Score for Caroline (as she should have), I would still be rooting for her to win this year.

 I think you ca throw Book Of Mormon in there, too. It really is one damn impressive score

I don't think so. It was my opinion, and I left off other acclaimed scores that I don't love like Company, Sunday in the Park With George, Parade, Light in the Piazza etc.
