It IS possible for somebody both to have taste and not like this show

I don't begrudge anybody loving this show, and obviously a lot of people do. I didn't hate it - I was engaged during it and not so bored I was tuning out, I was mildly amused enough a few times to chuckle - but I wouldn't ever really recommend it to anybody. And I assure you, the basis for my feelings is NOT because I evaluate musicals on whether they're based on a movie I'm familiar with or a popular song catalogue. Again, I don't begrudge the many who do like it, but this isn't a CAROUSEL, MY FAIR LADY, WEST SIDE STORY, a work of such staggering quality that it seems clear that anyone who likes or loves musicals should embrace it, and whose rejection by the public would have been an indictment of audience taste. This is one that some people love, some people don't.
