Well folks, today marked my trip to see The Fly. It was wonderful. I’m glad I got to see the final performance before it closed.

I wasn’t crazy about Howard Shore’s decision to make the entire score atonal and without melody (I tend to dislike “lavish musical” melodies, but the score could have better engaged the brain if were a bit more cohesive).

Maybe I’m just a Philistine who doesn’t know the first thing about quality sci-fi opera.

I did get to hear retro-style telepods with operatic vocals. “Subject: carbon based life form…transmission complete…teleportation successful…”

That was probably a once in a lifetime experience.
