I really appreciated the frank discussion of the context of this musical, as well as its merits and its issues. I first saw Allegiance during one of its movie theater screenings and felt much the same way that K does: I wished they stuck better to the already-quite-bad-enough facts of what happened, cleaned up the story, and had more memorable & enjoyable songs. I enjoyed myself, and I definitely wept, but I wished it was ever better, given its important subject matter.As always, loved the discussion and research that went into this one!
