Tickets are on sale....according to Broadway.com. If you are indeed interested, show support and buy a ticket to check it out and form your own opinion of the show!
I wish any show opening on Broadway luck. I did not get a chance to see it in SF, but some friends of mine did and they enjoyed the show overall, especially the dancing. They did mention some book problems (which seems to be the biggest problem that critics and audiences alike are talking about, TOM1071 - lack of a cohesive storyline), but then...that's what PREVIEWS are for...
I am hoping for the best for your friend, CJR!
