For what it’s worth, i like most critics, felt the original Broadway production was a complete bore, despite a few good songs. I was thinking of giving it another chance at the Met, but a friend of mine just saw it and said it was a complete waist of his time. I’m skipping it.
Unfortunately, this was a major disappointment. The writing felt amateurish, the stereotypes were tired, and the overall look and tone seemed dated and uninspired. I had high expectations given the talented supporting cast, but even they couldn’t elevate what ultimately turned out to be a dud.
I also saw it over the weekend and was very impressed. In my opinion, this cast is the strongest since the move to the Ambassador Theatre.Do you know when Kate, Robyn, and Alex’s final performances are scheduled?
Sorry you had to endure both the show and an appearance by Seth. Did he happen to mention his cruises, charity work, showbiz friend’s, and the fact he’s the co author of the Broadway show Disaster? He mentions this in every conversation he has, it’s exhausting!
I generally like Kerry Butler as an actress, but her performance as Audrey in the Broadway revival Little Shop ranks as one of the worst I’ve ever seen on Broadway. She played the role like a Disney princess, with no depth or grit, it really was terrible.
