I loved both Hadestown and Moulin Rouge! for different reasons.
Dmwnc1959 - While I agree with a few points you made (especially regarding the poor handling of Satine's death at the end), I still think I had much more positive reaction than you did both times I saw the show. I went in expecting an over the top spectacle jam packed with current and classic pop hits, and that's exactly what was delivered to me.

Maybe, but if the quality of the rest of the album is like theSparkling Diamondstrack they released maybe they should have taken the extra time. It sounds muddled and the lyrics are barely understandable."
I’m not sure what you’re listening to... it sounds great to me. Crystal clear.

I had put off buying a ticket for/ had no strong desire to see this with Groff, but as soon as I saw the announcement that Glick would be stepping in, I bought a ticket to see him. I think he will be great.
