I liked it!
The sets and costumes were wonderful. It's a really fun time. John and Gina need the most work. They were outshone by the supporting cast. I thought Nolan was great, Conrad is a small role, what do you people expect?
John needs to get more comfortable with the role. I don't know what was going on with Gina's singing. She wasn't supporting any of her notes, and when she held a note, her voice would quiver. Her acting was quite good though.
Random notes/changes
- The overture from the OBCR is used
- Rosie still sings the ONE BOY reprise, but the dance is entirely cut (as I expected)
- They seemed to have switched the KIDS reprise and the regular version. It's hard to explain
- Rosie starts WHAT DID I EVER SEE IN HIM? in a beauty parlor, and sings it with a beautician. Then she enters Kim's bedroom. Is that new?
- Random lyrics from the original movie's A LOT OF LIVING TO DO were incorporated
- The title song worked wonderfully at the end
I thought the teens were great. But sadly the two leads are the ones who need the most work. The production aspects were really great, in my opinion. I think it's going to be a hit (meaning it will extend). And I don't think the critics are going to trash it like you guys.

Whoever said Honestly Sincere was awful, I strongly disagree--I thought it was one of the most, if not THE most fun number in the show.
