They somehow retained the integrity of this musical, eventhough it is pared down from the original. The serious material was still all there, mixed in with all the joyful moments most keep in their hearts when thinking of SoM.
First and foremost though, the artistry blew my mind, and the curtain call literally took my breath away.
I was also fascinated how they staged certain songs that just require someone to "act". They managed to pull it off finding ingenious moments, without it becoming suddenly a parody of the original piece.
Incredible! ...coming from a New Yorker who sees Broadway shows all of the time.
