I subtracted a star because I hated the soundtrack so much. Either the music didn't match the scene and was too loud, or it matched and was too loud. In every other show, the soundtrack never bothers me, even if I think the music is bad because it's in the background. Here, it is always loud and in your face and takes over way too many scenes.
Do we really need to hear a loud pounding drum when a confrontation is taking place? It's as if the director thinks he has to tell you that this is a dramatic scene by slamming us with drums.
I love Yes' Roundabout but why play most of it in, 'Tragedy at the Commons'? Again, I wish I could ignore it but the director cranks it up.
Less is more. You don't have to blast soundtracks during all of these scenes. Keep it in the background.
