8. Critical Comments:
This score is full of fun brassy numbers not necessarily for
a star vocalist because theyre not musically complex. Mollys
songs are spunky and youthful, My Own Brass Bed is her only
serious song that she gets to herself and it explores a complex
side of her. Brass Bed is my favorite song, its a young girl
dealing with adult emotions and crossing into adulthood.
