I agree. the good songs are great. Berstein was a genius, I just think he was a little off when he did the music to WONDERFUL TOWN

I think that the "Wrong Note Rag" is absolutely brilliant. It's like early Sondheim. It helped to introduce the concept of using unusual sounding intervals in musical theatre. Almost Sondheim-esque.

Sondheim. I try and listen to his work (Into the Woods, Sweeney Todd, etc.) but the only two I thoroughly enjoy are "Sunday In the Park With George" and "Assassins".I respect his work however and his is very talented but I don't always like it.

Rodgers and Hammerstein, with the exception of "Sound of Music." Every other show they did makes me want to claw my eyes out.

priest - no Violet? keep listening, i promise you...u have the ear many ppl do not. Tesori is a genius.

i can't even respond to the Sondheim unappreciation...but in a way i'm glad not everyone worships him

I can't get into all Sondheim, like SITPWG.

Also, LaChiusa. I went to his Lincoln Center concert, "The Girly Show", and while I enjoyed the performances (Julia Murney, JLT, Sally Murphy, Michelle Pawk, to name a few), the songs weren't particularly memorable.

LaChiusa. Little Fish was painful to sit through.
