Sounds like the reviews could be cribbed from the show's lyrics: Wednesday you're new Thursday you're through It happens sooner than you know That gravy train gets mighty slow OR This game of cops and hookers it ain't nothin' new. But nowadays they sure got better things to do They even might have time to solve a crime or two If they would leave us working girls alone Despite my love of THE LIFE, twas covid keeping me away. I still wish the production well but the early buzz makes me think I may never see this version.

I learned from Twitter that The Life has a considerable following; many people adore the score, and have great memories of the original B'way production. Other than White's performance, nothing much stuck with me -- the subject matter just didn't whet my appetite, a subjective take -- so I'm curious about how all of this revision/reframing sits with the fan base.
