That's my choice, too, but it's more about a social disease.

*When you say entertaining, I assume you mean a people pleaser & not the best social issue musical, as there is a difference*"

How does it tackle LGBT equality? The character of Edna, while played by a man, is not a trans character (or even a drag queen). She's very much a biological woman. She's performed by a man as an homage to the source film.
