Disappointing
James M. Nederlander Theatre - Chicago
Singers were all great; songs, not so much. Couldn’t remember one tune after show was over, frankly after the song themselves were sung. This was a story set in the world of high fashion, yet costuming was terribly lacking. Great pains were taken to depict male dancers as diverse and forward. With the exception of a design wall and the character Jacqueline’s first dress, the clothing for the female characters was straight out of JCPenny’s. Andy wore an unremarkable yellow prom dress to the Met Ball. At one point Miranda was inexplicably dressed in a chalk-stripe pantsuit straight out of the ‘70s. Scenery ranged from okay to exceptional. The roommate characters shouldn’t have been necessary to explain what was going on had the playwright shown us rather than rely on them to tell us. Writing 101. Character of Nate was a throwaway. Had I not read book &/or seen movie, I can’t say I’d actually be able to follow story. Needs a lot of work. It was, by far, one of my biggest disappointments.

Delightful Devil

We really enjoyed the musical. Performers were outstanding. Music was great. The musical likely conveys the message better than the movie. We expect this musical will have a long run.

As the play unfolded, unbeknownst to me, there was a persistent "woke" tone that was palpable throughout the performance. I don't care if a play sways left or right occasionally but please end up in the middle so that there is a sense of balance for the audience, especially in this divided world. It was an unnecessary emphasis which is why I give it only three stars.

I actually loved it
James M. Nederlander Theatre - Chicago
Had attended both the official opening night and closing. I do not understand the disgusting reviews. This was a fun so… Although not perfect and I’m sure will be tweaked before Broadway… The set is great, the characters are fun… The audience was really into it.

Meh
James M. Nederlander Theatre - Chicago
The acting and singing was great, but the dialogue had some lulls. The second act is better than the first. Unfortunately the bad review in the NY Post had me going in with low expectations. It would have been fun to play a twist on the movie instead of following it so absolutely.

Beautiful adaptation of the movie and great music. It was same storyline but had some fun nuances that we liked. Cast was incredible, especially Miranda, Andy, Emily and Nigel characters. Would love to see it again!

Shear Fun

It is a straightforward musical. Fun, sweet, and entertaining. There is no deep meaning or message so just sit back and be entertained. P.S. Nigel is a blast!
