I agree with your rating, maybe a B. It was very Ryan Murphy. Do producers or musical writers not believe in "books" anymore? I guess you can tell I am a Sondheim fan. At any rate, when it had to come through it did but that is not enough. There were a couple of numbers that reminded me of the opening sequence of Hollywood that left you really impressed with how it was presented. But that always has the downside of being disappointed with much of the rest. I really liked the lead character, wonderful voice. She was there when she needed to be. I also like James Corden and Andrew Rannells who belted out their numbers when they were given them. Meryl was proficient in her role and WTF was Nicole Kidman even doing there. She can be a good actress but this was a big thumbs down. So in the end I would not run to watch it again if only for Meryl Streep talking about her ability to present a character to the public that the public had not heard about before . . . Eleanor Roosevelt. And in a musical that contains a hip hop number. Now I found that very funny.
