But since you were near the back of the house... <BR/><BR/>As you know from my review, I'm a bit ambivalent as well. The show is very good in certain things, but fall short in other ways.

It is closing this week, after all, so it doesn't surprise me that the Tuesday night show was sparsely attended. <BR/><BR/>Agree with your comments on the sentamentalization/Broadwayosity of the production, and much of the music was forgettable. But the few numbers that worked were spectacular, including the choreography you duly praised.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625459753618343604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-42937231578159906682008-10-09T22:48:00.000-07:002008-10-09T22:48:00.000-07:00Dear cubbie: Cool.
