The story is preposterous. In some ways it betrays the original. Its also highly melodramatic. That said...I've seen it 2x and I loved it.
The score is gorgeous, the designs are beautiful and the staging is perfect. If you are not an ALW fan, this show wont make you one. However, if you suspend expectations and just go with it, its a wonderful experience.
The recent US tour was much better than the Australian video version. But, its still worth seeing. |
