If you’ve watched the Disney musical, you’ve probably been talking about Bruno for weeks — that is, when you’re not humming it, singing it or quoting it. A big ensemble number, the song about the Madrigal family’s complicated, misunderstood relative Bruno gives some of the lesser characters their chance to shine.
