Yeah, it's not exactly the freshest of material, and the lyrics are far better than the rather monotonous music, but I was unexpectedly taken by it. There was a bittersweetness to the proceedings I found rather beguiling and moving.
I liked the cast a lot, and thought they really fleshed out their sketchily-drawn characters. I knew of Courtney Balan from her days understudying both Susan Blackwell and Heidi Blickenstaff at [tos] (She never went on for either), so it was a treat to finally hear her, and I knew Christopher Cusick had been in WICKED but didn't know his work - ditto Pamela Bob, Patrick Oliver Jones (beautiful voice...he reminded me of Stephen Bogardus), Kelly McCormick, and Jonathan Parkey (whom I would have liked to have seen a bit more of).
I plan on seeing it again.
