Then again, an especially good fictional song can come to feel more real than its story of origin.

Read MoreSharp Claws at “Becky Shaw” and “Cats: The Jellicle Ball”
Still, what distinguishes Gionfriddo is not her ear for cruelty but her ability to see beyond it, and to shift the prism of audience sympathy, in tiny increments. This tension is intensified by Trip Cullman’s precise staging, which is smartly paced, down to the indie-sleaze anthems, such as “Zero,” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, that…
