I didnt care too much for the ending, because it seemed out of character from the rest of the piece (it sort of sounded like Petrushka got the girl after all in the end, rather than being beaten to death by the Moor). I think being so out of the box was what made it for me, even though a lot of people weren't too crazy about it. Happy Birthday 🎂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidp Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Yeah; you listen to the show, and up to the end, it stacks up pretty well with the original. You get to the ending, and it’s like, “huh?” It sounds like either Petrouchka “gets the girl,” and all is well, or else he wasn’t such a great guy after all, and him getting killed (I was mistaken in my last post; the Moor kills him with a sword, rather than beating him to death) was a good thing, and the Moor and the ballerina live happily ever after. It seems like at the very least, they could have done a reprise to the very beginning or something, but that’s just me; your mileage may vary. 🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
