Part 4/6:
Throughout the rehearsal narration, themes of absurdity and satire emerge clearly. The idea of "stepping on a crack" and breaking someone's back is either an inside joke or a metaphor for the unpredictable consequences of fame and criminality. The cast's bemusement and laughter suggest that the musical embraces a sense of humor that borders on the surreal.
The production appears to critique or at least lampoon the figures involved in high-profile scandals, using comedy and music to question societal obsession with celebrity. The playful gender swaps, combined with the comedic misinterpretations, illustrate an artistic approach that is both daring and irreverent.
