I saw it with Ann-Margret a couple of years ago. It was okay. Ann looked great, she can't sing like she used to but she had character and it was great seeing her up on that stage. And she is still so beautiful! that woman shoulda had a show created especially for her years ago.
I just saw the touring production last night. Nice set, interesting lighting, but the storyline didn't keep me wanting to know more. Everything seemed done without a reason. All the songs didn't seem to flow that well. I think the star of the show was Meme as Jewel. Her performance was A+. Maybe it was just me, but I definitely think it could have used some work.
I havent seen any tours...heck we dont get any tours in Australia, apart from Cats, ugh Cats...ewww (i'm going to be shot I'm sure) but I adored the movie...Wow, what a show...And Dolly Parton was phenomenal...and so was that shower scene (*fans himself*)
