I think that it is always vital to have a great musical score if you want to have an enthralling piece of theater: music has such a tremendous power to really push a message and emotion across. With such an emotional story at hand, a gripping arrangements of notes and melodies can have such a transformative power. It might be either good or bad that the composers have not seen the visual aspect of the show after/ before composing, it would either an asset to the development of the score, or stunt the creative culmination of all design areas. Either way I am interested to hear what the music sounds like!
