“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

Frankly, I don't like it, but at least it's a display of professionalism –– well-rehearsed, highly polished, by genuinely talented performers. However, after a short while, the novelty disappears, and it becomes extremely WEARING.
It must be a lot of WORK for the poor performers. How they can summon the energy to perform the original on which this was based night after night I can't imagine. For me it would be tantamount to engaging in Transcendental meditation in the middle of a BAD DAY at the BOILERWORKS.

To me, THIS is where the "Hamilton" craze jumped the shark...
