I hope you didn't rain on her parade then! I'm glad she liked it.

Personally I enjoy ALW, syrupy pap as it is. It's kind of like liking ABBA, or any Jim Steinman music. Mozart he is not, but it's decent pulp music (yes - I know you thoroughly disagee; you've made that pretty clear).

I agree with you about the incredible set & lighting production aspects. I saw it on Broadway many years ago and was blown away.

OTOH: Philip Glass is about as entertaining to me as Orb's Orbus Terrarum (an album made purposely to have no beat or discernable melody): i.e. CRAP.

Aside - his brother Ira is only slightly less annoying, but redeems himself by occasionally being humorous (note I do not say funny, merely humorous).
