| I cannot stand bio-jukebox musicals - but this one integrates songs into the plot. It’s just a coincidence that you know them working in. Most of them could have been written for that moment. And the show is witty, clever and fast paced. I don’t really see how anyone that likes musical theater could dislike this. My only minor quibbles are that I wish the choreography and physical direction rose to the level of the book (certainly the directors comedic chops are on display). While both don’t get in the way of the proceedings, neither add all that much. |
