callistotoniPluses:
- *Amazing* production design / costumes / effects
- Strong cast (touring company; Best of Broadway series in SF).
- Clever plot, with some very clever plot bits that link the 1939 MGM verion.
Minuses (IMHO, of course -- YMMV)
- The music all sounded pretty much the same to me. There was only 2 songs that, to me, sounded different enough for me to remember them (Popular, and Defying Gravity). The music was certainly enjoyable enough, though; I just won't be running out and buying the cast recording.
- The plot is clever, but the dislike/like/fight/forgiveness aspect is something that isn't supported; it's just something you're supposed to accept because it's a musical.
Overall an enjoyable evening. I'd go again (disregarding the cost issue) just to see the production stuff. Big Bonus: running into![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
