I’m saying the musical version of the book is too happy. I’ve been seeing trailers on TV the last couple of days. I’ve read and had to do a book report on LM.
I had to read it in French in HS - that was a drag.
The musical version is not “too happy”. You’re getting the wrong impression. It’s a tearjerker & very poignant. Don’t let a song like “Master of the House” mislead you. It’s actually there to provide some emotional relief.
