I saw it last night (free tickets). I enjoyed the first act more than I thought I would...but the second act just collapsed the whole show.
Maybe having low expectations was a good thing going in (plus drinks at Barrage pre-show helped too).
The audience seemed to love it. I did not like the music being sung off-stage for most of the time...the only ones who sang where the parents.
And that story - jeez! Take '42nd Street' 'Imitation of Life' and 'The Red Shoes' - put them in a blender...sprinkle with some catalog songs and volia - a show!!!
