I just got out of the matinee and thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved parts of it and Chloe didn't annoy me like I thought she would. Honestly shocked that this wasn't trimmed down more as there's bits here and there that aren't needed. The big numbers come off well received as does any time "Let Me Be Your Star" is sung plus "Don't Forget Me" and "They Just Keep Moving the Line". Loved the placements of "Second Hand White Baby Grand". Curious to see what Tony nominations it might get. It's such a crowded year.

 

FYI, show started around 2:10 and I was on the street by 4:45. However, this had to be the longest intermission I've ever been at. Nearly 30 minutes. Today's matinee was also soldout.

Also, the audience seemed to enjoy it. This is such an old school setup musical comedy. Brooks is doing his thing but the audience loved him.
