Beav - the answer has two parts.
The experience - we had dinner with him beforehand, and we got to see him happy, settled, aware and just thoroughly within his own skin. He's worked hard and overcome a LOT to reach this point, and it is spectacular to see the results. He was completely present in the show and has progressed tremendously as a dancer - a viable ensemble member for any company. He blew kisses to us at curtain call, and then took us around backstage and introduced us to everyone as his two dads (I thought I would have to carry Robert out of there, he was so verklempt!) And I was very pleased to see how welcome and liked he was by the cast and crew.
The show - I can't claim I went in with much objectivity regarding the music, as Freddie is one of the most spectacular rock voices ever (in my book.) It turned out that the music was probably the strongest point. The book is a horror show, and then they tried to make it 'site specific' by referencing Vegas, which only made it seem like the spawn of Satan and a lounge act. I don't think they've decided whether they want to create a concert environment or a theatrical experience, and the resulting mish-mash was simply embarrassing. I DO think that Vegas is its proper home. If they try to take this to NYC, I don't want to be around when the critics get ahold of it.
BUT, we were there to see 'the boy', and on that level, it was beyond wonderful
