Grammy winner Ne-Yo will make his Broadway debut as Davis from December 4 - January 25. (He will not be performing from December 24 - January 4 and January 20-22, though.)
DTLI Consensus: Rollicking pop-rock score? Check. Three charismatic leads with immense vocal prowess? Check. Slick, sleek direction? Check. An improved revival of a famously flawed tuner? Not quite checkmate.
9 mixed (including the NYT), 3 positive, 3 negative.
I've yet to see this one, but based on what I've been hearing, I'm expecting mostly mixed-negative notices with praise saved for the score and vocal performances (esp. Nicholas Christopher).
