LaChiusa's music

Posted: 11/4/06 at 4:18pm

What is it about Michael John LaChiusa's music that turns people off from a lot of his shows as brilliant as they are. I only have his Wild Party but I heard a song from Marie Christine today and it sounded absolutely divine. Is it because his work is more like opera than musical theatre?

I think it's because his scores are not as accessible to people as traditional musical theater scores that are showtuney (for lack of a better word).

like defyingravity11 said his scores aren't really comersial or what people expect to see in a musical. I think people are kinda taken aback when they first hear him. It really took me a while to get used to but now i LOVE him

They're musically illogical, without appeal, and devoid of emotional payoff.
