Personally, I happen to think that ROCKY is a pretty spectacular entertainment from beginning to end.

He happens to disagree, as is his prerogative. I haven't seen the show, but his comments seem to align with much of what has been posted in this forum throughout previews. And certainly, the fact that you had a different read on the audience that night is hardly proof he is being "disingenuous."


He was supposed to rule the kingdom and someone took away the little prince's thrown.

His what now? LOL.

The show is a spectacle with a terrific perfomance by the leading man...but a musical must have good music if you are charging $140 a ticket. The applause after almost every number was like golf course applause the night I saw it. Save for the last scene, there was not one showstopper. The scene where Rocky drinks raw eggs got bigger applause than the musical numbers save for Adrian's number in the second act which was not terribly good either. Can you imagine his review if he had to pay for his ticket?
