Having seen the show in SD and last week here I'm surprised at the mean spirited reviews. While this show is nothing ground breaking it is an engaging show. I still hum a few of the tunes and think it is hands down Wildhorn's best score.
The show didn't work on many levels when it opened. Never made up its mind what it wanted to be. I do like the songs 50 Percent and the opener, There's a Real Nice Crowd and a Terrific Band. The rest of the score is a yawner.
Applause is at the top of my list. Never had a good revival. They're Playing Our Song - Maybe could work as a period piece Promises Promises - it's Turkey Lurkey time! Give me a break. Baby - felt dated when it opened Of Thee I Sing RENT
So sad to see any show close. Every time investors loose like this it hurts the whole Broadway community. I would have thought if they could make it until the summer they could do the same business they did on spring break weak. Too bad.

I just listened and don't get what people like about Heros. It's not dramatic and truthfully that's the problem with the whole score. Some nice tunes here and there but no sense of drama. I do like "Finding Wonderland". But to me the whole score is a yawn.
The book to Gypsy is one of the most perfect ever written. There is not a wasted vowel in that book. It does something that so few musicals do today which is, tell a story and make every moment count.
