Featured reviews
This production is wonderful. The tap dancing is beyond fantastic. Each number in the first half is standing ovation worthy. The second half drags a bit, brought down by the book (script). But still wonderful to watch and the numbers are Broadway perfect.
Freely adapted from the original - which was brilliant - but this new version is a cornucopia of talent and performance! A perfect 10 on all counts.
PS filmed stage plays can raise live performances to a whole new level with cuts and closeups. This proves that.
If I were just rating this based on the performances, I would give it 10 stars. The tap dancing is especially phenomenal. However, the show was boring, predictable, and basic. Nothing makes these characters stand out and I could predict every plot point before it happened. The songs had particularly boring lyrics and though the melodies were enjoyable, none were catchy or memorable. If you're just here to see a lot of good tap dancing, you'll probably enjoy it.
This is a super great version fo the show. The acting is completely there and there isn't a dull moment. Additionally, the choreography is incredible!!! I'd highly recommend!!
