just.... a flop

I've never seen the movie, but judging on the other reviews I don't think it would improve the work at all. The story is all over the place, and except for maybe two characters, I have no clue what the motivation behind any of the events in the show are. A lot of the characters are very... dated. Dated is the only word I can use to describe this show. The over abundance of stereotypes completely ruin the enjoyment or any semblance of a decent plot. The terrible sound quality is something I would expect from a bootleg audience filmed cut, not a proshot. Any time the actors do manage to sing on tone, it's barely audible. All being said, I don't know how they managed to stretch 10 minutes of plot into 2 hours.

I thought this was an amateur production

I own the awesome original London cast recording and the vocals are phenomenal... This version though, I honestly thought it was a recorded amateur production. Alot of the vocals were flat or just damn painful, the American accents were dodgy, and the choreography was uninspired. Considering how rigorous auditions are for shows these days, I'm amazed how most of the cast got picked.

Bad script, poorly acted and terrible proshot!

I love musicals, and I really liked the original movie, but this is a train wreck. I keep reading this production got rave reviews but honestly I cannot see how. It probably reads better live, but honestly the actors are playing caricatures of the characters and they are not grounded in reality. They are all stereotypes and playing just for the jokes. Now, to top it off proshot of it it's terrible. A lot of bad close ups, audio issues and terrible editing made a painful viewing experience for a musical. You miss the big musical numbers in favor of a close of an actor who is out of frame half of the time. It's just a big miss, like the 2009 remake of the movie.

Didn't get it

We were hugely disappointed 😞 Didn't see much of a story line to the movie which is what we expected, Dancers were great so much talent in this production but wasn't what we expected !

Disappointed

I don't normally do reviews but dear god this was just not good. Aside from the outstanding Mica Paris..this was just poor. I dont believe it was the actors.singing but the shocking script and with a couple of exceptions the songs were just dodgy. I was.a teen in the 80s and loved the original but this doesnt even compare. I love musicals but this is the first one I have forced myself to warch to the end.
