Saw this last night. The staging was wonderful as well as the set design, costumes and choreography. Unfortunately, the two leads were miscast. Colton Ryan was so off pitch the audience was screeching as he couldn't hit the hight notes.His acting was just awful. He came across as a frat boy. Anna Uzele who was much better, was lackluster. When the finale finally arrived and she sang New York, New York I was expecting this power house belter. She did not tear the house. I was expecting a Jennifer Hudson/Lea Michelle voice to come out and she certainly disappointed.
Unfortunately, this has been a very disappointing Broadway season. Bring back the big musicals! From Almost Famous to Bad Cinderella broadway in now all about the tourist and not the serious theater goer.
