A few thoughts:

Younger people don';t know anything about the movie and could not care less

The character of Sugar Kane is a big black hole in the production, neither charming or funny or anything else

For me just one (or more than one) tap dance number too far

The Daphne characters embracing her "girlhood" just rings false in 1933 America. Does she want to be a gay man? does she want to have a sex change operation? Huh?

Liked the show didn't love it. Sorry to see a lot fo talented people working their tales off up there and not connecting

There were people living as the other gender in 1933. I had no huh? reaction to this.

I agree about young people not knowing/carrying about the title. Tons of fun tap-dancing, some love it. Lots of people seen to like the door slamming bit, but that's what I thought went on for too long. Still, I liked it and would recommend it for anyone on the fence. I'd be very happy to see it succeed.

I don't know what the NY marketing is like, but they're not clearing the hurdle.
