Saw the show last night...third time total, first with Cheyenne.
No disrespect to James, but what a difference Cheyenne makes - he was fantastic. Funny, great voice, looks great in the skates. Aside from being a little wobbly on the skates, and going up a little on his dialogue with Tony, he was in great form. I did notice they added a second featured skater in the finally, but I think it was to either fill out the stage, or to do some of the choreography Cheyenne couldn't do yet.
Only problem? Really looking forward to Cheyenne's costume change in the finale...they better start constructing those short shorts ASAP.
As for the show, it's in a pretty good shape. The audience ate it up, Kerry is getting even funnier and broader in her performance. Mary and Jackie are still hysterical, of course. And the ensemble just gets better. Still a couple of rough patches (which I remedy by staring at Curtis' chest), but otherwise it's still bringing in very appreciative crowds.
