One of the worst books for a Broadway musical in years ..... boring, cliche old jokes, etc. The Dyanne character is ridiculous, and of the hundreds of versions of
FEVER I've heard over the years, this was just about the worst.
In general, even the musical performances teetered on boring. I liked Rock of Ages, I liked Toxic Avenger, I liked Memphis ... but this is terrible.
The one exception - and the one and only reason to see this show - is Levi Kreis. His JLL is a knockout, and as somebody already suggested, this is a performance worthy of awards consideration. Yes, the audience hits the streets with a smile on their faces, because the very last thing they see is the best part of the 100 minute ordeal - Levi's knockout "Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On"
