I saw it last night also...good score and Kelly O'hars singing is flawless. But it lasted 3 hours and too many scenes had little to do with the main story. At the beginning of Act II there is a long scene at a steer contest where there is lots of singing and a girl doing Irish tap dancing. Also it seems to be a show about moving set pieces. More than a hundred times actors are pushing in or out the scenery. I didn't really feel the passion. It should have the audience in tears at the end. However, the music and the performances make the show worthwhile.
