I would like -- in all seriousness -- to see someone tackle an incredibly serious social, political, moral, or intellectual issue in a music theatre piece.
If Sondheim can effectively tackle a subject like the psychology of political assassins, or the intellectual workings of uber-serious French painters, etc.... why can't someone do something about, say, high-school shootings, or the Holocaust, or the American civil rights struggle, or non-orthodox sexuality, or even -- now here's a curly one -- the concept of death?
Anyone else sick of nothing but fluff? No more love songs, dammit! Let's do something with some meat!
