Personally, I kinda liked it. I guess its "my style" (I'm especially a sucker for great dance technique). I'd definitely see this one over at least one if not two others coming in this spring.
Looks like a lot of dancing. Carmello sounds great. They did seem to feature more dance than song so hopefully there's more cake under the frosting. It all reminded me of "Sadie Hawkins Day" from "Li'l Abner". Minus the bare feet, of course.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

This does feel a bit like "Finding Neverland" on cocaine. The cast is wonderful, and Andrew Keenen-Bolger is a darling, but my that Casey Nickolaw isn't exactly restrained is he. But I imagine it will be a cute show for families. If it closes, maybe we can recycle the tree for a revival of "The Grass Harp!"
