Don't see it if you don't like slow plots and a bizarre narrative retelling

Don't see it if You're not expecting children to be there.
See it if You would like a quality show. Music, singing, dancing, book, staging ....all are at high standard.
Don't see it if I wouldn't recommend this to children. Act1 is good but act2 is scary and cruel from onset to near the end. Some kids left crying.

"We’re so uninvested in their happy-ever-afters that none of it matters, and we’re left marvelling at the show for all the wrong reasons. So much effort and energy. So little point."
