Saw the show Friday night. Have not laughed so much in the theater in a long time. Lisa Howard stops the show!!!. Long time since I have seen an audience laugh and scream and clap like last night . Great show with a great cast. Just goes to show that you can't believe what your read and what other people think. Will be going back soon with friends !
Or, it goes to show you:
Shows can improve during previews
And
People have different opinions.

I notice you don't say much about the score.....
Saw the show on Wednesday and LOVED everything...except the music. It's forgettable, and not very good to begin with. The only song I remember the one Lisa Howard sings with her former best friend which features the most adorable lyric: "I was the Tzietel to your Motel!" It should also be noted that I hate going into shows not knowing the music, so for that reason, I hope it records so maybe it'll grow on me.
Otherwise, it is a well acted, super funny, fluffy show.
I was in the last row of the mezz and the rear mezz had me and maybe 40 other people...and David Hyde Pierce taking notes two rows in front of me.
