42nd Street with Shirley Jones and Patrick Cassidy. Opinions?

Has anyone else seen this? I saw it last night thanks to some comps that they were giving out. I have not seen the show in a long time. I totally missed Mary Testa as Maggie. She was the best. Ms. Jones has some great timing and line delivery but she seemed to have some pitch problems a few times. Not like she could ever compare to Christine Ebersole. Still it was cool to see her performing. Patrick did pretty well I thought. He is the best singer I have seen as Julien Marsh but his take on the character seemed a bit too angry instead of just gruff.

Anyone seen this yet?

I heard Shirley Jones sucked...

It's great to see her live, she is an icon and from another era so to see her in this arena is really special.
Patrick is HOT!
I missed Mary Testa as well, especially on "They're payin' $4.40 a seat out there!"
