I saw the original cast and it was enormously fun. Most of it had to do with the staging and the cast. It will be interesting if it will be able to stand on it's own in concert. We will have to wait and see.

I wish I could see that. No one ever does the show and I love the score. I wish I could have seen the original staging. It sounds like it was loads of fun.
