It's a GREAT SHOW! Saw it in Toronto! The BEST I have seen in a long time! Don't wait to get your tickets, because there aren't going to be any left.

My prediction.... (in my opinion), it will run for years!

Ive seen all productions of this show Sydney, London and Toronto and can assure the Londoners that this is a much better production (assuming it stays relatively the same as Toronto) The song changes annoyed me before i saw it but they actually do work better. Its a faster paced production then London.
For people who havent seen it ... all I can say is forget the posters, forget about the cast recording and just go along and enjoy. Even if you dont know any of the songs its visually amazing and time does fly as its so fast paced.
The only concern I have is I agree with the person who said about the heavy reliance on the divas... it does seem to me that even the video seems to focus on them when in reality although they are part of the story they are not the main focus AT ALL. Clearly this is a deliberate move by the producers who possibly feel the content may scare off some people... I dont understand that but at the end of the day regardless this will have a long run due to word of mouth and repeat customers. Some people will hate it though but thats just life.
