When I first heard that we were putting on this show this past year, I was not particularly thrilled. My first opinion was that the music sounded borderline demonic. However, after working on this musical-opera hybrid and the role of Greta Fiorentino, I have developed a soft spot for Weill's contribution to the Broadway stage. I don't like how this particular score is laid out - for example, the table of contents doesn't list every number. However it is complete with dialogue, so it is a useful tool for any singer working on this show.
