Iglehart was great, the best thing about the show. Armstrong's life and career are really interesting. Telling his story through his wives was a bad idea. The show definitely needs to be about Armstrong himself and all the stuff he went through with a new approach and a new libretto.

Also, when I saw the show (10/13/23), the production did not have the rights to use the song "Hello, Dolly", which was probably Armstrong's greatest hit. It really needs to be the 11 o'clock number. Hopefully, it will be in the Broadway production.
