Did Bebe Rexa lip synch?  Isn't the whole point that it's live?

The intro was so awkward lol

The whole thing seems lip synched.  I never liked the narrator character in this show when I saw it on Broadway.  It worked well in the movie though.

The sound mixing is really, really not good on this one so far.

I think the music is too loud.

I don't think Bebe's song was live. It looked like just a music video filler.

Matthew Broderick is Perfect!

Not sure if it’s the sound mixing or the fact that these songs are really wordy and musically busy, but I am having a hard time understanding a word anyone is singing.

The cast is doing a phenomenal job and the sets, costumes, and camerawork have been great otherwise.

I like the performances of the mom and dad.

This is filmed very well. So far, that’s the extent of my praise.

The whole thing was delayed in my area for an half an hour. Enjoying it now, but that Opening was god awful.

That transition to The Greatest Showman Live probably confused a ton of people.

Jane Krakowski continues to be our generation’s greatest.

Not going to lie...The Greatest Showman commercial has been the highlight of this for me so far

I was pretty happy with it so far ... until Maya started singing. God, she can’t sing at all. Horrible.

This certainly validates taking a pass on this show when it was on Broadway. But it's a great look at early Pasek and Paul.

Was Hugh Jackman wearing Kinky Boots and where was Lady Gaga?

Half of Twitter is throwing fits because they didn't know it was going to be a musical.

Maya Rudolph is awful. Humorless and singing offkey. Jane Krakowski should havee played the mother and Maya the teacher. Nice quick change by dad.

Who is the actor playing Ralphie's Dad?  He is really funny!

[DramaTeach]

Ralphie's dad has stolen this show.  I saw John Bolton on Broadway, and he's great, but I may like Chris better.

The cast is perfect-esepecially the dad (Matthew is so wooden and breathy) and the production is impressive and beautiful, but I don’t feel this at all. I find this too loud, boring, and repetitive.

That GSM live commercial though
