I saw the Vegas version and was extremely impressed with the physical production, particularly the chandelier. As LynnO said, it came down extremely quickly. I was sitting in the mezz, but I think someone in the audience below it actually screamed when it came rushing down.
As LynnO mentioned, they basically cut out everything except the big songs and scenes. It was like watching the Cliff Notes version of the show. It felt a little bit like the whole show was at a 10, rather than having higher points and quieter points. The regular version is much better.
I think I saw Brent Barrett, Sierra Boggess, and Tim Martin Gleason as the leads. I think there were more than 8 performances a week, which is why the roles were double-cast. |
