Um, I guess this board isn't the right demographic for Ferrell's brand of Bush satire -- I thought this was hilarious, and darker/cleverer than I was expecting.
I thought it was pretty good. I laughed a lot especially at the Broadway jokes. I was half expecting a Miss Saigon comment at the beginning too. I didn't like the secret service guy at first, but I liked it more and more the crazier he got. I also loved the sex dance with Condoleezza. I didn't find it to be the mess everyone is making it out to be. The moment of silence was the only time I felt a little uncomfortable, but only because I don't believe Bush really feels anything or cares for those lost. At least not as poignantly as written by Will.
It is still Liza's tony!

I missed it last night--it's airing several more times! Check HBO.com if you missed it for times. Despite what everyone is saying, I'd like to watch it again (after seeing the 2nd preview)!

It had funny parts and not-so-funny parts. Even though Will Ferrell is a huge celebrity, I don't see how this show would've been worth $126.
I heard last nights crowd paid premium prices.
No show is worth $ 126 & especially not that. It was one of the worst I have ever seen.Had we actually seen it live, we probably would have left long before it ended.
Again, hyperbole, hyperbole, hyperbole. Don't trust anyone who ends a declarative sentence with "I've ever seen."
Well, from my 29 dollar standing room spot, I enjoyed the hell out of it!
Standing Room would have been good as it would have meant I could have left earlier without being to obvious.
It was not worth 29 cents.
I didn't like it at all. I was counting down the minutes until Entourage came on instead.
