I saw it opening night and it was Terrible! The musicians were great but the orchestra was too thin. The new songs were like square pegs made to fit in round holes. It didn't work! Some of the actors were good but some were really not too good. The story was reworked and was terrible. It was trite and contrived. It was obvious and some really didn't make sense. The costumes were cheap and bad. The sets were good. I won't even get into the gay over and undertones.
