What exactly didn't you like about it, Barbelena?

I've seen it thrice and have loved it each time. It's refreshing to see a musical that isn't a jukebox musical, movical, or a revival.

If you're a fan of current Broadway trends, you aren't likely to like this show.

"Geez, just because someone doesn't like a show doesn't warrant an attack on taste and character."

Thank you. You expressed clearly what I was thinking. She wasn't inappropriate in her post and there was no reason for the attack. Especially telling her she is totally wrong.

Opinions aren't wrong.

Now, my opinion. I heard a ton of hype about it and I had the cast recording which I loved. I then went to see it and it really wasn't all that great. No, it wasn't bad but it surely was less than I had hoped for.
I still listen to the music quite often but as for the show, I didn't particularly enjoy it.

Drowsy grew on me. Here is my review from last year: https://forum.broadwayworld.com/readmessage.cfm?boardname=bway&thread=896270#2153369 but after listening to it,e tc... I liked it more. I don't know. You just have to let it grow on you.

No, it wasn't you. I love the zany, goofy musicals of the 1920s and 1930s, but thought DROWSY was never as clever or as well-written as it should have been. Too often it seemed like a patched together rip-off rather than an inspired pastiche.

Whatever stregths there are in DROWSY are soley that of its ultra-talented and appealing cast - they know how to make hash seem like sirloin.

One of the funniest, freshest and most original (not to mention hilarious) musicals I've seen ever... I loved every minutes and it's one of my favorite all-time shows. Yes, it seems to have been just you.

And MasterLcZ, how ever much I respectfully disagree with your assessment of DROWSY, I couldn't help but notice Ann Miller in your avatar... LOVE HER!
