It is an irony of art, that the most subtle element of a song's lyric, is the most edgy, the most daring, and the most adventurous of the entire song. Indeed.

I think in terms of musicals as musicals in the collection thus far, this is true. But individual songs creep in to compete with the distinction of being this, yet the package of WDTW is rightfully a unique set of dynamics.
Tanz of course musically is a wonderous thing to listen to, and is strong enough to be a symphony in its own right if not for being an opera. Just put the proper spacers between the movements and voila. Bella Fantisimo.
