In the show, is there any speech or is it completely sung? Also, what was the set like?

Cheers, Jake.

I know there is dialogue of cell phone converstaions between the lovers in between some of the music, but I haven't been able to get my hands on the score yet to read what exactly it says. The set is quite thoroughly explained in a previous thread on this board with, I believe, the same title as this one. Look back a couple pages and you'll find it! We also discussed who was to "blame" for the dissolution of the marriage.

You know in adult relationships one can reach the determination that their relationship no longer works without the need to affix "blame". Wanting to blame the other party is a device some people feel the need to use to satisfy their own egos.

Why this compelling need to point fingers and find fault?

Ummm, relax, etoile. It was just a topic for discussion.
