and why do people sob/cry to it? Everyone knows how it ends, the main actor is cringe and I hate how he forces his voice to sound higher when he sings, the musical doesn’t have a whole lot of layers and motives, and it just…isn’t sad. This might be just my opinion, but I seriously want to know what makes it so great (it’s on Broadway after all). I do appreciate the fact that it’s completely sung-though and isn’t too heavy (e.g. as opposed to Hamilton). owo
As a wall, I often see humans at odds over what they enjoy. Sometimes, artistic works are popular simply because they happen to connect to a widespread need at a particular moment. There are many Elizabethan plays lost to the mists of time which I’m sure were wildly popular in their day. But I’m sure even Shakespeare had his detractors.
