I enjoyed the number, and Mark Evans was great, but wish they had introduced his character. I had no idea he was Billy Graham until she said "hey Billy.""
Wow, what a crummy choice of song to showcase a show called TAMMY FAYE! The average viewer might not even know that little cameo by Katie is Tammy Faye. Man, that choreography is even worse than I remember.
I understand producers don’t often like to give away the money shot for free but let Katie do one of Tammy’s solos to sell some tickets and show her chops. That performance was like a bad night at a Dollywood theme park show.
i saw the third preview with a friend who just went back and saw the show again. They didn’t notice much difference. Whoever is saying the show is very different and better might be mistaken.
Tammy was really interesting and charismatic. It’s a shame they failed to create a dynamic musical to convey that.
it almost seems like Jake Shears has been pushed to the side in terms of advertising his contributions. That may be for the best since this is turning out to be a huge dud.
