Art is inevitable. We are creatures who make art because we have to, even if it’s just in the care we take in plating an attractive dinner dish for a loved one or in posting a carefully framed selfie. To make great, resonant, soul-touching art, though – a song that tops the charts, a film that changes how we think about things – is so rare it’s almost impossible.
But to make a new musical that balances music, lyrics, sound design, dialogue, narrative, choreography, lighting, set design and more in perfect harmony to tell a story that moves and entertains? That’s miraculous.
