I’m listening / to these men who aren't quite men yet / but aren't boys / make noise / and throw their knives / their toys are people's lives

This musical is perfect in every aspect. Each lyric and detail is incredibly meaningful. All of the characters are written so well, and I love their development. This is a devastatingly beautiful show, and William Finn does a wonderful job of making you feel all the emotions. I really could talk about this musical forever, thank you William Finn for this work of art.
