She's pretty weak compared to Stephanie and Amber but I guess she has a lot on her shoulders tonight so I hope she improves.

It looked like ambers exit at the end didn't go as planned. There was a sad explosion at the end
At work but got to see Stephanie sing and saw the tornado. The tornado was ok. They took those original vocals, that were so great, out of it and it looked like she got a bit out of contol. Can't wait to see the whole thing. I do like how it is being staged and I think those screens look fine so far.

Her energy has picked up now that she has someone to play off of

Elijah Kelly's voice annoyed the hell out of me in Hairspray but he sounds much better here.
I hate it....watching PR Junior in 15 minutes. More entertaining.
These voices are killing it.
This is GREAT.
Would have been good on stage but not at all realized for television. The worst cinematography choices I've seen on this NBC Live series yet.
This is definitely a huge step in the right direction from whatever awfulness that was Peter Pan last year.

I love the set! They all have great voices and energy!
The story is moving fast, for the most part it it close to original so far?

This is dreadful. The camera work is awful. Harvey's new script is flat. I am so disappointed.

It looks as though the camera work was an afterthought.
The pacing is a bit slow and awkward at times, but that seems to go along with all these live TV musicals. I wonder if having a studio audience would bring some energy and loosen things up a little.
All the performers are really good, though!
Oh my God, was that the Great Rumpus Cat?
SHANICE
Beautiful job with Be A Lion. It's my favorite song in the show.
Just saw a little bit but I have to agree with the camera work I saw. Shanice either missed a mark or they didn't switch cameras in that first scene when the other camera came into the shot.

From what I saw of the Peter Pan footage, it wouldn't make much sense as there or no proscenium, just moving from one corner of the warehouse to another all night.
The camera angles are wonky, but I'm finding it much more enjoyable then Peter Pan.
Loved the poppy costumes!

The poppies scene was beautiful. They killed it!!!
Hyde set seems so different from the previous two live broadcasts. It's almost it's like it was meant to be in a proscenium theatre. Huh... Can anyone guess what I'm thinking?
I got bored and changed the channel.

With the exception of a few bad notes the cast is singing it beautifully, but even so, the sound sucks. It really seems that they needed another week of tech. And, it isn't magical enough. I do like the cast and the costumes though.
