| I tend to agree with you, but I was hoping at least for the "glamourous world building" that you mention. That bewilderingly did not happen. The show is visually unappealing and Beth Leavel is costumed in a way that makes her look dowdy. We know she can look glamorous so there really in no excuse. The costumes for the rest of the cast are equally bad. There are a few satirical pokes at Haute couture, but not consistently enough for that to work as a concept. Seems the creators didn't really think about what fashion is or means. The big Dress You Up (Andy's transformation) number features mostly all white costumes. That may sound striking. It wasn't. It just made one wonder, where is the color, the texture, the fun of fashion? |

| I haven't seen this musical, but the song title of ''Dress You Up'' reminds me of ''Dressing Them Up'' from ''Kiss of the Spider Woman.'' And if ''Prada'' needs a number about ''the fun of fashion,'' they might revisit ''My Strongest Suit'' from Elton John and Tim Rice's ''Aida.'' Amneris revels in her love of clothes (''Forget the inner me; observe the outer''), and the number included a splashy, mini-fashion show. |

| Honestly one of my favorite songs from a new musical in the last decade or so. Even if it was probably written in the 90s or before. | |

| Yes, I also thought of My Strongest Suit. Nothing as fun as that in Prada. | |

| Prefect! Even the Bob Mackie costume parade sequence in The Cher Show (a show I didn't particularly like) was far more exciting than anything in Prada. |
