I enjoyed the music, and the performances on the whole. However, I thought it very slow, and really quite boring. The first act had me fighting the fatigue especially. If you see it, definitely don't pay full price. You shouldn't have to anyway. It's usually at TKTS etc.

How could you say this show is dated?? Let's look at a few of the themes- Finance, racism, and immigration... all 3 are modern issues.

You better make up your mind quick. You really don't have much time.

It's definitely worth it. It's a very fun and entertaining show. Don't go there expecting to be moved to tears or anything, because it's just not that kind of show. But if you wanna go see an entertaining story, with some humor, nice music, and talented cast, I say go for it.
