Theater Thursday: Snapshots
Snapshots is a show composed of songs from various Stephen Schwartz musicals and one of his films, yet it transcends the traditional musical revue format. Unlike other shows that combine songs from different musicals, Snapshots features a compelling and original story, where existing songs have been reimagined with new lyrics, medleys, and unique arrangements. The narrative, which follows a couple reminiscing about their lives together, feels genuine and engaging, rather than a mere excuse to revive Schwartz's popular songs from Wicked, Pippin, and Godspell, along with lesser-known works like Personals, Working, and The Baker's Wife, and even a song from the movie Enchanted. In a time when many available shows are either revivals or works-in-progress, Snapshots stands out as a refreshing and delightful experience.
