Ambitious, Banal, Great staging, Slow, Overrated

See it if The names Tonya and Nancy mean something to you.

Don't see it if You aren't familiar with the titular characters - there's not much here to offer besides the musicalization of their story.

For a previous production

"The storyline’s so melodramatic, duplicitous, and droll, it’s downright epic. This story’s got it all: Action, intrigue, ambition, betrayal—it’s practically Shakespeare on ice.

I’ll never look at rock ‘n’ roll, theater, or figure skating the same way again."
