• A mixed bag that I think may be a hit. It's so hard to tell. • Some good staging and choreography from Stroman, whose work I've never loved. • A few numbers that work well either because they fit the situation just well enough (sometimes with the help of rewritten lyrics) or because the staging and performance is enough fun. But too many others seem unnecessary and simply too nonspecific, especially in the second act. • The book has been cut down too much to create room for the numbers. Coherence is lost. Some plot points changed in ways that do not help. Some good new lines, with others that sound like the work of some hack gag-writer. • Thoroughly professional performances, some of which seem a bit too closely modeled on those in the movie. • Try to avoid sitting closer than the fourth row.
