I did not know the score going in, and I confess I am not much of an Andrew Lippa fan. I did find several numbers were catchy and quite possibly in isolation the numbers are stronger than back-to-back. The cast sounded great but were not very interesting as actors and the direction was not inspiring. That's not to say that there weren't a few laughs and creative moments, but the biggest setpiece of a chase set among a big chorus number fell very flat. I won't say you dodged a bullet but I don't think you missed much.
