It was selling out during previews when I saw it and I thought it was very good. Diablo Cody's script was edgy but intelligent
and the songs worked, esp. You Oughta Know, which got a mid-show Standing O (only other time I saw that was after ALADDIN's
Friend Like Me). The audience loved the show and I think it would've been a hit had it opened.

I saw it late in previews and thought it was a mess with some exciting singing.

It was totally overstaged, which to me indicates a lack of trust in the material.

After it opened and during traditionally slow months. So it was in its way to being a hit. I had tickets in May.
