Why would you say that? You enjoyed the show correct?

I think the only thing about the show that will garner any type of good reviews is the choreography and their corp of dancers.

Although it's been in previews for about a week now, it seems as if no one is talking about it.

I saw it in DC as well, and from what I hear, the shows a bit tighter now.

---

I think the reviews will single out the dancing and the dancers, but the overall tone of the reviews will be very dismissive.

---

When I saw it, there were way too many pelvic thrusts. There was definitely a variety of styles, i.e., hip hop, jazz, ballet

---

Will open "to" not "too"

---

Considering the quality of some of the shows they will have seen PRIOR to Hot Feet, I think they might be kinder than expected. But it could be the sort of kindness that borders on patronization.

---

Better than Lestat's - which is not saying much

I would hope critic's give this show what it deserves....negative reviews.

I saw the show last night. I was embarassed for Broadway. Broadway has hit a new low. I thought 'In My Life' was a joke; this show makes 'In My Life' look like high art.

Don't get me wrong, the dancers are phenomenal. That being said, I personally did not enjoy the choreography at all. The costumes are heinous. The set is serviceable at best. The green lazer light show grew terribly old.

I have a problem with the acting levels of the cast. At times, a lot of it looked like a bad after school special from 1987. The actor portraying Mr. Serpentine appeared to go up on lines repeatedly through out last night's performance. The book to this show is probably the worst on Broadway right now. The scenes barely try to hold the dance numbers together.

I wonder who sat behind a table and said, 'we made it, this show is ready for Broadway.' It's this kind of reckless show trying to capitalize on yet another band's popular tunes that is RUINING Broadway. New audiences will come to see the dreck that is onstage at the Hilton and think this is what all Broadway shows are like and never want to step foot in another theatre.

I was comped into the show last night, and I was still angry I wasted those two and a half hours. Good dancers can only entertain for a certain period of time when the rest of the material around them is crumbling.

I have friends in the show, many who are making their Broadway debut, so I really tried to have a good time and enjoy myself. But, as the evening progressed I found myself growing more irritated by the show. By the end, I was sad for the two and a half hours of my life I would never see again.

All in all, this show stoops below theme park level. A true new low for Broadway.

And, what really irritates me is the standing ovation this show received. People will stand up and clap for anything anymore.

its probably an ovation for the dancers' hard efforts with very bad material.

THANK YOU NYCDNCR!!! YOU WROTE THE POST THAT I WANTED TO WRITE BUT I HAVE LOST MY WILL TO LIVE AFTER SITTING THRU "HOT FEET". THANK YOU FOR WRITING IT SO WELL FOR ME!!!

Please don't lose your will to live!! There are resturaunts to be cleaned, parts to audition for and not get, and songs to be sung poorly.
Please forgive me, but when I read comment like those of EffieWhite, even if I agree with some of the sentiment, it really reminds me of a whole lot of "Theater" students that never create but sit back and throw darts.
I bet when he sings happy birthday at Fridays he wants everyone in the resturaunt to quiet down and listen to his big number!
