Re LA CAGE: "It always felt just a little too cheesy for my taste. And the Cagelles and their incessant bitchiness - just not for me at all."
Again, not surprising, if we consider who wrote the book. While I think LA CAGE, KINKY BOOTS, and NEWSIES all have their pluses, I imagine all three could have been much better if a more talented person had bee engaged as book writer.
