Music is completely subjective so to discuss a musical on the basis of just the music is doing the acting and dancing and set design a disservice. There is more to it than just music. But I saw it and I will take your challenge.
Look at it this way. Jazz musicians argueably may be some of the finest musicians out there. But I have tried and tried again to listen and enjoy jazz and I can't no matter if it is Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John coltrane....or Joe Blow at the neighborhood supper club.
As far as this musical ....it was a nice afternoon....will I go again...NO...as far as the MUSIC....would I buy the soundtrack.....NO WAY.
