I guess we're all having different reactions!
I thought On the Town came off the best, although starting the number with a pre-taped portion was a bit weird. My husband (who hasn't seen the show) keeps saying that the three male leads lack charisma.
I've been avoiding Honeymoon in Vegas because I hate that whole scene with the gambling and the showgirls, and I also despise the Rat Pack sound. This performance made me more determined to stay away.
Gentleman's Guide: Great number, but it's the one they usually do, and the background of Macy's was a bit distracting.
Side Show: My husband (who hasn't seen the show) watching the performance cold thought it was off-putting at first, seeing the twins, I mean, and then afterward he commented it seemed generic. I kept wondering if the freaks would make an appearance, although that wouldn't fit in with the timeline of the show. (Answer: no.)
Was this really the best Last Ship number to choose? The melody seemed really sing-song, with a lot of nah nahs filling space. Not appealing. (I'm seeing the show Sunday.) Although I give Sting credit for what he's doing. I imagine it won't be easy on his voice.
