Music reviews of The Musical of Musicals (2003 Original Off-Broadway Cast)
Music Review: Very funny IF ...
Rating: 4 Stars
Really top notch musical satire is someone like Sullivan (of Gilbert and) taking off Mendelsohn, or Wagner, or even Handel. The music is not just funny as a parody, it is also a really good example of that style of music, which would stand up quite well if you had never heard the "original". There are moments (my favourite one is "Corn" - a wonderful parody of "Oh what a beautiful morning") where this one comes quite close. Generally, however, most of the music itself is really very ordinary - and is funny (often hilariously funny, I must add) only if you happen to be familiar with what is being laughed at.
The non-musical satire is also very amusing (although many of the jokes are in the "so-bad-it's-good" category, including some absolutely dreadful puns). But again, the point of the joke always lies (sometimes quite deep, too) in the work being satirised. I wonder how many people pick items like "My own little corner" (from the Rodgers and Hammerstein television musical from the fifties, "Cinderella").
The whole exercise is great fun - at least for one or two listenings, and at least for us musicals fans. It is a shame that the humour is so relentlessly "in", and that the music is not of a higher overall standard in itself, as opposed to just being clever parody. I can't help wondering (or wandering) what anyone not familiar with musical comedy in general, and the "musicals in particular" involved would make of it. Very little, I suspect.
For the rest of us - how about a sequel? Without mentioning any names, there are stacks of other composers and lyricists who thoroughly deserve to be satirised!
Hopefully the music would be of a more consistently high standard, and there would be just a little more humour you didn't have to be a musicals buff to get the point of, though.
