I just have to say it. I told you so. Read Ben Brantley's review of The Times They Are A-Changin', Twyla Tharp's take on Dylan.
I'm not a Dylan purist or anything - I didn't really like Dylan until my late twenties. I knew his music first from those wretchedly shallow renditions done by Peter, Paul, and Mary. And I'm not saying that Dylan's work wouldn't make good theatre, but the question is why? Why was it necessary? Why did this need to be theater?
