I made it through the first 2 scenes of the NBC broadcast. I keep saying that at some point I'll go back and watch the rest...but...I have a lot of things to do...;-)

In terms of the above medley - yup - this looks fun. I wasn't sure at first about this Hannigan, but by the end of the song she had won me over. Also, love the set. And the Annie has a nice, unaffected voice.

The Miss Hannigan is really good, a heightened but still believable performance suitable for this starring role!

Pirate Jenny Hannigan... works suprisingly well.

The Hannigan has played Elphaba in three different languages including English on Broadway. When she was in NYC, per a recommendation here, I ran to the theater to see her in it. She was great.

That'll learn you to come to America knowing three languages. That was unpleasant to watch.

Vekaik being presented as a novelty act by Rudetsky because she's proficient in three languages.

I forgot it was on until well into the telecast. I remembered and tuned in during ”You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile.” The kids were good, and I stuck with it through that, and barely stuck with it through the Hannigan-Rooster-Lily scene that follows, but gave up completely during the FDR scene after that. Perhaps I will try watching it from the beginning on demand. The worst thing that will happen is that I will watch a bit and then decide I really had seen enough. Or maybe I would find that I like at least some of the beginning more.

This is a show in which I had little interest until a few years ago. Now I think very highly of it. Not in my top 10 or 20, but it really is very smart and well-crafted.

I've done the show twice with all-kids' casts, and really enjoyed it. I think very highly of it too, and agree that it's well-written and smart. And a lot of humor for the adults - it's not just a kids' show at all.
