Trying to figure out if there's any musical score that's perfect. One where *every* song is brilliant.
There are musicals I love and adore, but there's nearly always one song you don't like that much and skip over/delete from your mp3 player. Anything Goes fails for having 'Easy to Love'. I thought La Cage aux Folles, but then remembered I've never been fond of 'The Best of Times is Now'.
Anyone got any that they can deem perfect or just miss it?
(interestingly, there's film scores I deem practically perfect*, but then those rarely involve lyrics and're often written with a full theme.)
In other news, listened to the Barrowman/Prenger version of 'So Close'. Nope. Daniel Boys does it better. Or has better producers. Something. I think it'd be fine if they did it individually - it *really* doesn't work as a duet - but something's definitely missing.
*Off the top of my head, Pride and Prejudice + Master and Commander for recent ones.
