I agree RippedMan.   I felt totally ripped off.  Garbage on Broadway.

Chern, I saw it five times and also spent $1,000+ on it that I don't regret, but I think you're conflating the orchestra, cast, and star with the set. My use of the term "semi-staged" (not concert) was in reference to the set.

RippedMan said: "Sorry, I thought the set and design looked clunky and cheap. The sets weren't automated. The staging seemed clustered and stagnant. The leads were all very boring. The whole thing felt like I was seeing the 10 national tour and not a big highly anticipated revival. There was just no wow factor. "

Sets not automated? Except for pretty much all of it... tons of fly automation, the roving Dreamland platform, the helicopter... we must have been watching different shows, because when I saw it my first thought was "wow, if they're using this set it's going to be a bear to tour."

That settles it. I'm not going...
