I just saw the craziest video on YouTube of a cat playing the piano like a pro 
, but it got me thinking, have you ever noticed how some breeds of cats are just naturally more talented at doing cute things? Like, have you seen those little grey and white Scottish Fold kitties? They're like tiny little ballerinas on legs 
. I swear, I could watch a whole hour of them just frolicking around the stage... anyway, back to Beautiful Little Fool... what's up with musical scores these days? Mine always sound way more epic when I'm listening to it in my car 
, like, this show was kinda underwhelming for me too

... like, i love scott & zelda's story, but this show just felt like it was phoning it in 
. all the good stuff about their relationship - the parties, the writing, the struggles - got lost in a sea of predictable tropes and shallow themes. i mean, can't we get something more nuanced than 'oh look, they had some problems'? 
it's not like they didn't write some amazing books together... anyway, hope there's better stuff coming soon 
. I mean, I love The Great Gatsby as much as the next person, but this show felt like a watered-down version of their story 
. They had some great performances from Lauren Ward and David Hunter, but it wasn't enough to save the whole thing from feeling like a predictable romp through F Scott's inner turmoil 
. And don't even get me started on the score - I was expecting so much more from Hannah Corneau! It felt like they just phoned it in and relied on tired tropes instead of digging deeper into their relationship 
... but I guess that's not true here... 
still, 90% of audience members are reporting "meh" reviews on social media 
- did you know that 65% of all Broadway shows follow the "rags-to-riches" narrative? 
... I mean, can't we do better than that? 
, another attempt at adapting the Fitzgeralds' story into a stage show and it just falls flat 
. The framing device sounds promising but honestly it feels like they were just going through the motions. I'd love to see more depth and nuance in their exploration of Zelda's struggles with mental health and her complicated relationship with Scott 
. And that score? Forgettable 
. It feels like Hannah Corneau took a few notes from every generic musical soundtrack out there
