Some of the performances were excellent (heather headly, Jennifer Hudson, Leno M, Nathan Lane) and then you have Billy Eichner and perhaps most egregious, North West (how did a kid with 0 performance experience get to do this other than nepotism)? She was flat and off tempo on every bit. I know that’s being harsh on a kid but there are any number of kids playing that part on tour that could have done better. It was fun to see some of the puppetry and the rehearsal videos from the Broadway show. Unfortunately, the puppetry was limited, almost certainly because of venue constraints. Some of the great vocal performances redeem this program but, not enough so to make it beyond my 2 rating.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
