Posted: 10/10/08 at 7:09pmThere were tons of quotes they could pull out of context from the New York Times. I don't see why anyone would have doubted that.

Yeah, the reviews were MUCH kinder than I expected.
Kinda makes me rethink seeing the show.

I don't care what the reviews say.
I'm going in there with an open mind.
Plus, having spent $25 on my ticket... Really?
It's a win-win for me. Appreciating Jasons' new show,
and a sprightful, talented cast / band.

Posted: 10/14/08 at 11:34pmI saw the show tonight, and I really enjoyed it. I actually thought the score was quite catchy and fit the tone of the show quite well. My only qualms were with the orchestrations and the set. I know the orchestrations had to fit the talented band members, but I would have liked some other instruments throw in there. The ballads felt repetitive with the same sort of guitar sound. Also, the set got to be pretty bland. I wish they had done something more with it. I would have liked to see more detailing and some attention to detail, and a design scheme! It was so bland! But the show was great, and the kids gave it a 110% and I found myself very entertained for 90 mins.

I agree, I loved the show but the sets I was slightly disappointed with after seeing production photos from the LA production.

Posted: 10/15/08 at 1:02amIs it any good, or at least worthwhile to pay a ticket and miss another show? The music from what I hear thus far, is so-so, but I don't know, maybe the fresh talent of these kids is awesome.

Posted: 10/17/08 at 6:19pm@perfectliar - I enjoy the music and what I've seen, which is contrary to what I've heard all over the boards, so, yeah.
