True that. Very few people standing during the curtain call. I thought the production was amusing but a mixed bag overall. Nancy Opel steals the show. Rob McClure is fantastic as is David Josefsberg and Brynn O'Malley. Tony Danza, on the other hand, is no singer - and he has so many songs! Oy! I agree his make-up seemed too heavy and was not a flattering shade. Also agree about the dancing - very pedestrian. You can see similar dancing in college productions all across the country. The music was fine. Some of the slower numbers were rather bland, but the brassy numbers fit the mood and setting nicely. JRB was in the house and taking notes. If my budget or time only allowed for one such Broadway excursion, and I was in the mood for a fizzy, musical comedy...I would recommend ON THE TOWN over this show, no question.
