Despite some clever lyrics, it's musically average-to-mediocre. Editing would have improved it, as frequently what would have been be an amusing three minute song becomes interminable at eight minutes (or longer). And the cast tries very hard, but in the end, you know exactly why the show bombed.
The pluses: Exceptionally lush production and beautiful orchestrations.
i just bought it and i must say, i like it....good for putting on to do your house work to, its peppy and the ballads arent too miserable....the cast is fun and even bernadette peters isnt being too cupie doll....the orchestra is delish
