Holy F***

The current West End production of Hello Dolly was a mess and a half. All the changes from the movie were fine but there is absolutely no joy from this production at all. They messed up all the big numbers, from the choreo, the staging, the slower tempo.

Sunday clothes, Dancing and Parade became an over-choreographed madness. Hello, Dolly! title number was like a ballad, with no climax, no punch, and again, the terrible choreo. 

Imelda's vocal was super weak, And why was the Parade speech cut short? It didn't build up any emotions at all.

Americans really hate Imelda’s stage work don’t they? I never see anything but complaints about her on here.
