I really wanted to like it - and it isn't awful in a PIRATE QUEEN kind of way. It just has no personality of it's own - very derivative, and not just of LES MIS. There isn't a musical in the last 50 years that isn't represented on that stage. I really wanted to judge it on it's own merits, but it has no merits of it's own to judge. It's polished, the cast is attractive and are working their butts off, but nevertheless it feels stifling and lifeless.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)
