another excellent quote
As I am often using this blog to save Music Man things that I like, this quote should be on here.
I don't remember exactly where this came from and I genuinely don't want to go find it again, ever (I think it was one of the negative reviews of the new Broadway production which bummed me out) but I AM pleased that someone wrote this line and it shows such a delightful understanding of Marian's character development and the Harold-Marian dynamic!
"The material, of course, is asking her to suspend her usual judgment and fall in love--and not love in the reading-room sense of the word, either. Marian discovers sex for the first time; her longed for White Knight had better be good in the hay."
