Why why why is this show being produced?! Sondheim shows flop, Les Miz closes, and doesn't find an audience, but somehow THIS manages to get produced on Broadway. Oy.

"Les Miz closes, and doesn't find an audience"

Because Les Mis only lasted for a week...whereas IML hasn't even opened yet...

I agree with your review. I saw it last Thursday night, on the 6th, and I genuinely enjoyed it. The show is just so strange and different from anything I've seen on Broadway. I had some good laughs and I was never really bored with any of the scenes or songs, so all in all, I had a good night. Plus, there are some great performers on stage, especially Christopher J. Hanke's Broadway debut. He was very nice and grateful at the stagedoor, and he gave a great performance!

Ooooo no! Above, I meant to write...

Les Miz closes, and Caroline or Change doesn't find an audience.

That little tidbit may make FAR more sense.

Well, they cover the whole upstage wall...and the wings.

They are gray...with blinking blue and red lights.

I'd rather see a campy show like this with wild costumes anyday than another Neil Simon type stand around and yak comedy.

The visuals are fun, the lights from the myriad filing cabinets are like pop art. The music's not bad.

And Lizzie, dead man Nick has a very nice song of his own which he sings well.

If they went camp with the whole thing, think how even much more fun it would be. The mother's opera song, done camp instead of serious? Wheeeee.....

I found it quite enjoyable and the performances quite pleasant. the biggest issue with the show is the blending of the elements. between set and song and lights the set changes pull to much focus..it just need to blend..it can work and it can be a great show..give them time

What's unfortunate for the show is that the people who will attend due to the outrageous word of mouth- the flopaholics and lovers of camp- are the people who will know how to get the deepest discounts, as well. For any show to last it needs tourists, and I don't think people who have time for only 2 or 3 shows during their visit will want to see one because "it's so bad it's good."

What would be really fun is if David Turner walks off with a Tony nom for his rediculous effervescence in this show...
