About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a big, emotional classic musical with memorable songs and a showbiz rise-and-romance arc; Not for you if you need nonstop laughs or a tight runtime like My Fair Lady.

Pros: standout lead performance; classic show tunes; lively stage sequences | Cons: long runtime; uneven tone; romance dominates later
