Great review Mitch, I agree 100%. 

I've also heard that the costume designer and wig person have been fired or quit over the last few days.

Even setting aside his personal failings, I truly cannot wrap my head around how Todrick was made director, choreographer, and composer when he has no experience doing any of those things for something of this scale. Giving him just one of those positions I could understand- choreographer particularly- but all of them? On top of being a lead in it? It's a recipe for disaster for anybody, let alone someone like Todrick.

A year ago his ass was playing Donkey in Shrek. Dude's a massive con artist.

He’s obviously a narcissistic grifter, but he didn’t hire  himself into these positions- that’s wholly a producer failure.
