well..
i'm biased - of course - because I primarily went to see my friends perform..
to my dismay - Norbert was out (with injury) that night
Overall - I was pleased. Idina was in amazing voice (not suprisingly) and it was thrilling to hear her.
Ms. Chenowith was delightful in her role.
And, again I'm biased, I felt Idina was unfairly critiqued on her acting. Her role is far more demanding because she's less likable (on the surface).
I had a couple of staging issues but nothing major - the one thing that bothered me though was the overall cheesiness of the FX.. The dragon seemed to be a waste of money - it did even less than the chandelier which is far more hype than anything...
And Idinia "flight" at the end of act one - a genie with fabric - not feeling it. That should have been an FX spectacular - on stage or no... - surely the money spent on that dragon could have been put to better use.
that's MHO on it...
