The dancing and singing are GREAT! The songs are terribly acceptable. They are not bad but they are certainly not good. And isn't that kind of the nightmare scenario? That you are mamby-pamby?
I went with Amy and Andy---it was our xmas gift to each other. First, we had sushi. Then, we had theatre. How sophisticated, no?
But man, we tried to laugh along with the rest of America...but just could not do it.
I think 4 LOVE stories is too much.
I think this prop they use for 20 seconds costs twice the expense of any of our musicals.
And, I think if you have the innocent character coming from Ohio, you are reaching. I mean, for real? We get it---America believes that Ohio is the quintessential state to set movies, sitcoms and if you need a real innocent, make them from the Buckeye State.
I would LOVE to re-write this show. To take out the gigantic plot device at the end of Act one.
To let the characters be instead of having Nathan Lane humping a newel post (spoiler!).
Instead, we have this show.
This reviewer does not recommend this show.
Off to make Buckeyes! Because I'm from OHIO!
