| I don't entirely disagree with you - but do you feel that Hart is a special case in that regard? Do we also suggest that Porter, Berlin, Lerner, Hammerstein, Fields, and so many other top notch lyricists were really expressing their own feelings, just superimposed onto their characters? It's an interesting topic and an interesting discussion. I'm just a bit wary to get all David Benkof and to read too too much into any musical theatre writer's work as being unconditionally personal as opposed to being character-driven. Sometimes a song is just a song lol. But to your comment "No one expressed sadness as evocatively as Hart," I do have to agree. |
