This is the kind of irreverent fluff that thrives off Broadway. Off Broadway, it may have worked. I didn't see it there. On Broadway, it was appallingly bad. Since Isherwood loved this off Broadway, it will be interesting to see if he sticks to his guns or changes his mind. This puts a reviewer in an odd position.
I went back and read Isherwood's Off Broadway review, expecting a rave but it's actually pretty tempered. More along the lines of admittedly having fun despite the show having no real restraint. It will be interesting to see what he says about the Broadway production. When he wrote his last review I'm sure he would have been surprised to learn he'd be back to see it at the Nederlander...
