I think Spongebob had the only good choice here and the number was so much fun, but oy vey, the reception. Some person said on Twitter they literally should drown Ethan in Biniki Bottom. God.
Dear Evan Hansen was good, but not memorable.
I think Anastasia should have done Paris HTKTYH, but the direction for OUAD was gorgeous. I loved loved Christy and Nicole's dresses (Christy looked like an angel omg), but was confused why they changed their outfits, especially with Nicole since she's in it for 5 seconds. But honestly, since they found a way to do the dress transformation for Once Upon a December, they should put Christy's pink dress in the show. The big problem is that after Rumors Never End, Christy Altomare never leaves the stage and she already has a different outfit in Learn To Do It.
Once On This Island didn't have that much energy after Hailey's WFL. They should have done a full version of WFL, We Dance, or Mama Will Provide. But, I'm so glad the reception was terrific
