Yes this would have been perfect. And a Broadway transfer to Circle in the Square-- as someone mentioned above-- would have been ever better.
I still enjoyed the show when I saw it but yes, it was very flawed. And Boy George (the real Boy George....who played Leigh Bowery in the show) apparently stormed out of the theater before curtain the night I went b/c the cast had just been informed of the closing. Curtain was very late & there was no mention of an understudy. Kind of a bummer but at least I got to see it. (I still listen to the cast album a lot.)
