“Pig” being a musical that may be one of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s better efforts but remains a bloated, subtlety-free slab of pop melodrama.
At least with Sunset Boulevard, book writers and lyricists Christopher Hampton and Don Black (talented pros) had excellent bones on which to build.
The actual song “Sunset Boulevard” is dopey as heck (“Sunset Boulevard / Frenzied boulevard / Swamped with every kind of false emotion”).
Most of Webber’s hits involved outlandish stage effects: Phantom’s crashing chandelier; a giant flying tire in Cats; Sunset Boulevard premiered with a mansion rolling toward the audience.
