Review # 1 was written on 2014-02-20 00:00:00 Jennifer Bistransky First thing's first. I need to clarify why I'm only giving this mind blowing musical three stars. This is not a script to be read, but to be seen. The script itself is poignant, beautiful and heart wrenching, but there are times when just words don't cut it. Sometimes you need to see the faces, hear the voices -- the strain in Moritz's voice, the heaving sadness of Wendela -- to really understand and feel what's happening. It is a script, so there are stage directions, but that is not enough. The story is beautifully told and incredibly haunting. It's about the struggle to understand and accept yourself for who you are. It's a story about love and growing up. It's a story about ignorance and people who just don't understand. It's a story about sex and what parents "don't want their kids to know". It's a story about everyone who has ever sat back and wondered "Why is this happening to me?" If you want to read this script, by all means do it. I am certainly not discouraging it in any way, but do yourself a favor and at least pick up the soundtrack too. Listening to it while you read provides a much more satisfying experience. Better yet, go see it and then read it. You'll have a much better understanding and you'll really be able to appreciate the wonderful writing.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-01-09 00:00:00 Bill Porter Can't believe this is my first book of 2021, but hey, at least it helps my reading challenge. I'm not probably going to write an actual review for this. It was a pretty decent musical with many themes that transcend its time and setting, so can't wait to analyze the shit out of them for class:' )
