I'm just curious, why is that funny? Would you recommend it to kids?

"

Acting like this show is some mature work that's only for those with refined tastes is hilarious."

I’d encourage performance-oriented youngsters to see it for the inspiration of the phenomenal Atticus Ware.

Saw this tonight and really enjoyed it. Yes, it's too long and I can think of a couple of songs I would have cut, but overall, it's engaging and unique with several excellent performances. As others have mentioned, the tap dancing was a highlight, but I loved the set design, too - that stage is huge and they used it beautifully. To go from the intimacy of the office in the first act to the vastness of the beach scene later on really showed its range.

We sat in the front row on the side, so we had a great view. But I had forgotten those seats are basically perpendicular to the stage, so it was a little uncomfortable. Definitely could have moved at intermission, but I loved being close enough to see every detail. I think the title number is the catchiest song, for sure, but I'd love to hear the music again.

I’m very glad I went back to this again today. I’d seen the first preview, and was very curious what changes, if any had been made. Since it was a couple of months ago my memory is a little bit hazy but I did recognize some trimming here and there. I think it still could’ve benefited from much more, but there was still more in it that I enjoyed than that which I didn’t.
