Broadway Review: SWEPT AWAY - Bored & Confused

Welcome to Bored and Confused! Today, I'm diving into Swept Away, a new musical fable featuring songs by The Avett Brothers and a book by John Logan. As always, I’m reviewing this show based on two main questions: "Was I bored?" and "Was I confused?" In this review, I'll discuss the show's origins, why going in with no knowledge was a challenge, and how the music felt both powerful yet slightly out of sync with the storyline. I’ll break down why some songs may seem disconnected from the characters' emotions and share insights into the unique folk-rock vibe inspired by The Avett Brothers' album Mignonette. For those planning to see Swept Away, this video gives you everything you need to know to avoid feeling as confused as I was.
