Nothing like that.
The one transition that was weird was from the first part of Goodbye Love to What You Own. Very sudden and could have benefitted by a bit of a buffer such as Halloween or the last parts of Goodbye Love.
Also, the single moment of excessive cheese was Roger walking in the desert and climbing mountains.
Other than that, brilliant!!!!
So yeah, I just got back and..uh...yeah...man tears.
But besides that...WOW. Just, it was. Wow. I don't know. I went with two friends who had not seen the play or heard any of the songs, and they were crying more than I was when I'll Cover You reprise came on. They loved Angel, and thought the characters were done with incredible depth.
I had heard a lot of complaints, but, from the stand point of a guy who knew all the lines but had never seen the play: It was good. Some of the subplots, like Mark's detachment were left a little askew, but it was made up for in his physical nature (he was always to the side of the screen, I found. Never really went near couples).
The complaints about awkward transitions were entirely unfounded, Amen Steve. I thought it was brilliant how they went between songs. The only slightly odd transition was the one you mentioned--Goodbye Love to What You Own, I have to agree. Though, there was less Mountain prancing than I had been led to believe.
One other slightly awkward scene was the end of Another Day. When the keep switching between Roger & the company, and then Roger...then the company... the Roger... then the company. It was a good unintended laugh.
otherwise... wow.
wow...
wow.
