Isherwood reviewed it for the Times as well. His was a bit mixed too...but more so on the play itself. His major complaint was the cliche story line, if I remember correctly.

I saw the show and really enjoyed it. The dancing was fantastic and I was pulled into the story. The concept and the way the story was told was different that your usual play. Just my two cents.
