Honestly this episode feels written by Sondheim fans more than anything, which is why all the G&S references were so odd to me lol. Definitely less focus on "fun" but I think all the lyrics were really clever and expressive and the way that all of the songs felt like they reinforced character work successfully was a feat even if none of them are particular "catchy" in that ear-worm way. Company is probably my favorite musical of all time but its pretty hard for me to hum you anything from that show
I'm not sure about Sondheim - it doesn't really have his feel and the music and lyrics for the most part aren't as thematically disciplined and crisp as I expect from a Sondheim musical.
The feel was a bit more contemporary pop, like a Pasek & Paul piece.
