In "Just One Step", a woman contemplates jumping off a building because of her husband Murray, citing it is his fault because it was he "who bought the penthouse on the fifty-seventh floor, so goodnight, cheapskate, goodnight!" In "She Cries", the singer laments and warns against the wiles of women's tears. Some of the songs are sung from famous points of view: "The Flagmaker, 1775" is sung from the point of view of Betsy Ross, saying "the wise woman does what she knows" as she sews the flag; whereas "Surabaya-Santa" is sung from the point of view of a cabin-fevered, angry Mrs. Klaus. For 10 points, name this musical by Jason Robert Brown a song cycle whose title is reminiscent of a work by Antonin Dvorak.
