Broadway.com's All Shook Up Tony Mistake — Page 2

Bythesword, I could not agree more. I have no idea why there is this overwhelming good will toward this relentlessly mediocre show. In a year where crappy shows like "Starmites" could get a Best Musical nod, this show could have indeed cleaned up at the Tonys-- happily, this is not the case this year! This year real actual shows opened and the best ones got nominated.

Jenn & Chayenne gave adequate performances, but neither was spectacular. The set was nice, but as many have pointed out, very remiscent of Hairspray. I will agree that the arrangements were very nice-- I guess if you want to get whipped up that would be the category to be outraged about, but again, it's a very competitive year.

I don't care either way as I've not seen it nor will I but to the poster who answered what a "shame" it would be if it ran longer than all the rest I have two words, MAMA MIA. That one, quite unfortunately, I did see and ASU can't be any worse and the performances can't possibly be any more mediocre. And I'm not even a psychic.

Having not seen the show or heard any of the music, how could there be "great orchestrations?" Insn't it just Elvis music, or is it significantly different?
