Based on this, it looks like the filming is very well done. I'm still so on the fence about seeing this live on my November trip after listening to the cast album. I have one slot let that I'm looking to fill. I will be watching this tomorrow and that will determine whether or not to buy a ticket or not. 

Watching now. It's, at times, insensitive and trashy. At other times, hilarious and charming. And at other times, just plain awful. And yet - I'm loving every minute of it and enjoying quite a few of the songs. 

Just finished watching this. At time times genuinely sincere, touching, and heartbreaking and at other moments pure over the top camp, this show definitely runs the gamut. Jeanna De Waal is a star, and "I Will" was definitely my favorite number in the show. The show moves at breakneck speed, which isn't always to its advantage. All in all, it a very fun show to watch from the comfort of your own home despite it's flaws.

Yeah British tabloids, like "Sun" They even wrote 2 negative articles within 30 minutes. 🙄🤦‍♀️

I can't  take them seriously...

Most media outside UK love it...

This was fun, terrible, silly, and entertaining AF all at once. I loved it so much.

I'm so happy they did this and I hope they continue doing pro-shots with more and more shows!

I agree. Its nothing incredibly deep, nor artistic, but its entertaining. Its a production that will be sold on performances and Jeanna de Waal gives a great one, but I don't know if its a must see. 

I don't know if this will succeed on Broadway, but it is interesting the first 2 of the first 3 new musicals to reopen are about women being screwed over by the British monarchy.
