Zoser needs reworking. Considering the story was set in ancient eygept, I didn't feel that way through the costumes and the sets. Why the heck is Amneries in the Nubia exibit at the museum, she should be in an eygyption part
This was one of my first Broadway shows, and I still love the score... but yeah not the best overall show.
I think there needs to be a revival, just for the chance to rework it. It has a lot of potential.

"Oh please, Over at 'Gypsy' Patti LuPone hasn't even alienated her first daughter yet!" Mary Testa in "Xanadu" "...Like a drunk Chita Rivera!" Robin de Jesus in "In the Heights"
"B*tch, I don't know your life." -Xanadu After that if he still doesn't understand why you were uncomfortable and are now infuriated, kick him again but this time with Jazz Hands!!! -KillerTofuSock puppets were funnier when they used to actually try.

aaah... Aida... I love this musical. But I agree with some people. The book is horrible! I feel like the ending was rushed way too quickly, like they didn't know what to do. Zoser is a horrible character with horrible songs made even more horrible with horrible choreography. I cringed every time i had to watch those scenes. Aida is the only character that actually had good dialogue. I'm all for a revival...... in a few more years.
