Free Music Review: Best new show this season
Hit: 5 Stars

In response to some previous reviews, I would like to begin by asking the following of some reviewers: Did you even listen to the CD at all?
I have seen Caroline twice on Broadway and fell in love with the show upon watching the first scene. The genius of this score lies in the brilliant use of motivic development employed by Tesori. Every line of music in this score is so specific to the character singing. You'll notice how most of Caroline's music roots itself in blues and gospel styles. Noah's music (the son of the family for which Caroline works) is very simple in both orchestration and meter (usually in 3), perfect for a child of 8 years old. Rose (Noah's stepmother) is direct from New York and thus her music is a very urban pizzicato, amelodic and very telling of her character. Of course, the Radio sounds exactly like the Supremes and the Washing Machine has an incredible rhythmic motif that perfectly embodies a washing machine...I could go on about this for hours, in summation, Tesori's music is remarkably implemented.
Take these motifs and then expand them, interweave them, and spread them out over an entire show and the result is a truly remarkable operetta, a quilt of many styles and colors.
Kusher's story is just as compelling. Both times I saw the show in New York, I cried. It is a tragic tale of a woman who cannot seem to connect to her time, and of the destruction of a relationship between a maid and a young boy. While Kusher's lyrics (mostly rhymed couplets) can get a little tedious, the symbolism he creates with his words is nothing short of incredible.
In the Broadway production, the show is broken up into scenes which seem to be determined by the subject at hand (for example, in act one, the scenes are as follows: Scene 1: Washer/Dryer. Scene 2: Cabbage. Scene 3: Long Distance. Scene 4: Moon Change. Scene 5: Duets. Scene 6: The Bleach Cup). In the Broadway program, these scenes are all that are listed. There are no real song titles, because this is a motivic operetta with a few Arias. On the CD, the producers were obviously obliged to change this format. They inserted new tracks on the CD every so often so that the listener could jump through each scene. Useful, yes, but this may interrupt the flow to a listener who simply skips about.
In summary, I would absolutely recommend this CD to anyone wishing to experience a truly provocative musical. This is an actual piece of theatre, not another fluffy spectacle.
