Disenchanted, anyone?

Just curious if anyone here saw this production off-Broadway recently?

I saw it last year here in Orlando, where it was a huge hit, but I'm not sure it would play as well with a New York audience. It was a fun night out, but didn't seem like the sort of thing that was ready for New York yet. Maybe they made revisions?

That was my impression. The actresses were pretty good, the songs fun, but the staging was pretty basic. It seemed like a series of songs with a similar theme but was missing a narrative to pull it together. The audience was ahem, interesting. There were groups that drove in from central Jersey to see it. And patrons that had a bit too much to drink. The person sitting behind me upchucked during the show, and I overheard another lady saying the lights made her dizzy for the first half hour-and she'd only had six glasses of wine.

All in all it was a good way to spend a Sunday evening but wouldn't be my choice when a full complement of shows were available.

I saw it in Tampa last year and loved it. Has the show really changed any?

Had a good time over a year ago at the Laurie Beachman theater watching this funny take on Disney. Could easily see it again.
