I feel like "highly anticipated" is an exaggeration.

This show is so horrible!
I've seen rehearsals and it's just a cheesy mess
And if u google the show in it's past productions ull see pictures of how rediculous it looks
And with all the kids in this one it's just stupid
Can't believe she's doing this!

Past productions you've seen are probably of the Disney version, which has been licensed to amateur groups.

I wouldn't count this show out yet. It's got a great pedigree.

Aw, come on, someone had to say it!

And it's only in rehearsals! Give it a chance. I'm sure they are still working on it.

And Rachel York is phenomenal. I think she'll be a GREAT Cruella. She's always worth watching, whatever the show.

And good point, EganFan2. I tried googling and could only find Disney versions, which have kids in dog suits. Blech.

I'm looking forward to this. It sounds like a hoot.
