Free Music Notes for Lost In The Stars (1949 Original Broadway Cast)
Free Music Review: Perhaps ahead of its time
Hit: 5 Stars
Normally, I do not care much for Kurt Weill's music. But "Lost in the Stars" is an exception. Billed as a "musical tragedy," the play did not attract audience enthusiasm, and closed after only 28 performances. A 1972 revival fared little better, with only 39.
I have never seen the show, and I have not read "Cry, the Beloved Country." But I find the story line clearly delivered through the music, even to someone who lacks familiarity. Maxwell Anderson has crafted a series of lyrics that move the listener through the narrative. Weill's music draws out the intensity of emotion the characters must have been feeling.
Perhaps now, with racial understandings somewhat better, a revival would elicit the popularity this score deserves. Until then, this original cast recording must suffice, and does so very well.
