Our desire to play God within an established work, to make it end the way we would have, to have the conflicts we longed to see, to have those welltrod boards walked on yet again, Webber is telling us not to reject that part of ourselves, but to embrace its cartoonish ugliness, going so far as to fully display the ‘freaks’ from his show during the song in mirrored crystal, asking us to see and embrace ourselves as the freaks. The Beauty IUnderneath is a song notably different from every other piece in the work, separating itself from the ‘popera’ style of the rest of the musical by delivering into a rock style that is slightly reminiscent of the style he used in Jesus Christ Superstar, but in this context is meant to be Webber speaking as himself toward the rest of the audience, inviting us to embrace what is underneath the surface of these shallow trappings. THis desire is best laid out in the closing song of the first act: “The Beauty Underneath”. She and her father, a famous fiddler, traveled all over Sweden playing folk and religious music.But far from wishing to hold ourselves to the fire, Webber asks us to delight in the wanton decadence of our own desire, despite or even perhaps because of, its ugliness.
