Misu Living commentary
Our interpretation, separate from the publisher’s reporting.A songwriter’s catalogue offers audiences familiar music, but theatre asks for more than a sequence of hits. The creative challenge is to give those songs a convincing dramatic journey. The long development period makes that relationship between music and story an interesting point to watch as details emerge.
