Join me for a review of "Water for Elephants," a Depression-era musical that blends uplifting music with underlying sadness.
While the circus acts are thrilling and the performances stellar, the disconnect between the upbeat music and the characters' melancholy lives can be jarring. The framing device of an old man reminiscing adds confusion rather than depth.
Despite its flaws, "Water for Elephants" offers breathtaking entertainment and a heartwarming love story, with a message against animal cruelty.
Don't miss the magic of the big top, but be prepared for some bumps along the way.

Grant Gustin = THE FLASH, for 9 seasons, villain on GLEE. Glad to hear he's getting star applause!

I am so glad to have found your channel. I am a big theater goer. I really identify with your nuanced reviews and its so helpful to have you put in words what I walk out it. I often appreciate the show, but see its flaws, and forgive them.

Thanks! You get me. Friends often think I disliked a show because I point out the flaws, when the truth is I loved the show and I see how it can be even better. If I absolutely hate a show I won't review it.

Completely agree - was bored during the back to back ballads and confused with the old man! Still enjoyed the theatrics of the whole show and the acrobatics are stellar

Huh. I totally got it from the beginning. I loved every second of it and didn’t feel any of the disconnect you seemed to.

I read this book back in 2011 and I'm reading it again now in 2024. I haven'twatch the show but from EVERYTHING THAT YOU SAID IS EXACTLY THE SAME THING, SUPER WELL PORTRAYED. The story is exactly like that,it goes from the old version of the lead character to the younger version from chapter to chapter. The girl from thehorse in presented exactly like that in thebook. We only understand who she is as the story goes by.

That's so interesting. I guess they were VERY faithful to the novel. Maybe too faithful?
