Well said! It's not as if Music Man is conceived as a naturalistic work, after all, and even if it were so conceived (as say, A Doll's House is) there is certainly precedent for presenting such a piece in a non-naturalistic manner.
The Asians in Millie I find troublesome; this is an issue that could have been addressed in the adaptation to the stage, but that opportunity was at least in part missed. |
