Audience Member While there's no plot to follow (it's a revue) the performances and music are infectious and highly entertaining. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Well, I watched this all the way through to see if it would get any better than the first ten minutes, and it didn't. This is an offense to all things musical theater. The songs didn't make up a story whatsoever, the singers were, at times, good, but most of the time wonky. Worst of all, the actual presentation fluctuated by song from decent variety show quality to bad American Idol songs. Don't waste your time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm not really one for revues, but I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed this. It's very light and fun with seemingly endless energy. My favorite part without a doubt though was the audience - they got so fired up during the show they gave like eight standing ovations. No joke. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member You know that rock & roll has staying power when it can survive even the homogenization that comes from being performed on Broadway. So it is with this live performance of a Broadway revue that celebrated the music of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller,... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I love this show period. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Such an excellent piece of theatre. It features the full original broadway cast and serves up vocal talents beyond compare. The best number, by far, is Fools Fall in Love -- the woman breaks down singing it. Amazing. I've never seen an audience stand up in ovation after many of the numbers. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
