Re: Secrets you're too lazy to make

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like a lot of the fans who cry that Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 in an unjustly neglected masterpiece, and that (insert more popular musical here) stole all the attention-! are overlooking one very important point:
Great Comet is a very strange work. Its structure and staging are highly atypical, the music is very nice but also a bit weird, and it's based on a chunk of War and Peace, for crying out loud! It was never going to be a surefire success.
And it still got TWELVE Tony nominations!

Do the people who say this - are they big, knowledeable theater fans?

I know very little about everything you mentioned, maybe it would be easier for me to get into it than someone who expects things to be within a set way.

I agree - The Great Comet is at the end of the day a strange show. I love it - but I love weird shit like that. Adapting only part of a book? Having characters sing prose from the book, including 3rd person narration? Weird electronic music? The entire way the stage/performance is set up? I eat that shit up but your average broadway goer probably wants something more grounded and accessible.

I saw this play soon after it came out (I never got to see the off Broadway staging a few years prior somewhere between 2008 and 2012? I remember the ads...) but it was a beautiful play (in content) and I really enjoyed the staging. I enjoyed all of it! But I could see how something non traditional aspects might surprise people. But I thought those aspects made it even better. And everyone singing was so talented.
