Music reviews of March Of The Falsettos (1981 Original Off-Broadway Cast)
Music Review: Marches to its own drummer...
Rating: 5 Stars
March of the Falsettos is one of those rare anomalies in musical theater. It's a show that is catchy, infectious, and utterly enjoyable without being Disney-produced schlock. William Finn is truly a master of interesting compositions, and I think this cycle, this show in particular, is the pinnacle of his work.
Althpugh it's especially familiar to Jews, the show can be enjoyed by anyone and everyone. Finn creates such memorable and likable characters that you find yourself completely invested in their lives regardless of how messed up they all are. He is a brilliant composer as well, occasionally parodying operatic stylings and using scansion that would even impress Sondheim. Definitely a great cast recording to a great show.
If you enjoy this show, I also recommend the novel "An Almost Perfect Moment" by Binnie Kirshenbaum. Again, it will be familiar to Jews, but is definitely accessible to anyone. It's about a jewish girl growing up in Brooklyn in the 70s who has a fascination with the Virgin Mary. It has a quirkyness about it that makes it seems a lot like the literary version of this show, although tyhe subject matters are somewhat different. I recommend it as well as this fabulous cast recording.
