Don't see it if You expect it to be as well-sung as the original production. It isn't. Don't see it if you expect changed lyrics to be an improvement.

Also The staging is really interesting and the actors are REALLY working hard-- double-time as stage hands with a lot to contend with. The final fifteen minutes are gut-wrenching, and the staging detail at the end (no spoilers) with the set design concept is devastating and beautiful. The singing, especially in the first half ('March of the Falsettos') is not super-strong. I imagine that the original production was cast not on star-power, but on vocal chops. While all of these folks are very good singers, it feels like they are out of their element a bit, trying to fit their vocal ranges and techniques to a score intended for different vocal types.
Also, I DID NOT LIKE the lyric changes. They seemed really basic and random, did not do anything to add to character or story... I was especially annoyed at the lyric changes for Cordelia. Shiksa caterer? Really? Add to that the diluting down of her comedic relief bits in 'Something Bad Is Happening'. Total misstep, Finn.... Read more Read less
