Don't see it if You're a big fan of either movie

Also From all the marketing, I was expecting over the top candy everywhere. You know, you can eat everything. Where were the snozzberry walls? I get that it's a show, and everything has to be mobile to do scene changes, but the bit where Augustus falls in the chocolate lake ("bath" in this case) was really small and not at all impressive or wondrous. It was a box instead of being this vast room. I had hoped for Peter and the Starcatcher levels of Christian Borle, and instead he seemed to just phone it in.

Also This was an unexpectedly beautiful production. I cried throughout. As a vet, I had low expectations for what kind of story this would be, but it ticked all the boxes.

Don't see it if You're looking for something deep and meaningful.

Also This was a pleasant and light show that recalls the Disney movie. The man who plays the genie has to be the hardest working man in show business to do it right (I saw it with James Iglehart and he was worth every penny). The magic carpet ride was delightful.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if You don't like the idea of good ol' boys singing and dancing about the mafia

Also It was weird. I saw this at Papermill last year. It was well-performed but just fell flat for me. In the first 20 minutes, there is a violent death on stage. Later there is a casket in the set design. Just odd. I'm not sure it works, the whole idea of the show.... Read more Read less
