In defence of Redwood, I actually think much of the score is excellent and Idina did the right thing going for a fresh new writer. "Drive" could be a club banger if re-arranged, "The Stars" has a beautiful melody, "In the Leaves" is incredibly joyous and high energy, "No Repair" gives Idina a next to normal-like moment and the show stopping "Still" with that gorgeous high note.
I don't like much I've 'heard' from Queen of V.
To save face Kristen and Idina should capitalise on the Wicked hype and come back to Broadway with a Mary Martin and Ethel Merman style concert. THAT would sell out quickly. Maybe as a tongue-in-cheek reference to their recent failures they can open with "I wanna be a producer" from The Producers
Redwood definitely had a stronger score than Queen of Versailles. However, I had a much better time at Queen of Versailles than I did at Redwood...
