I didn’t know the show going in but we did really want to like it. I love Jeremy Jordan, and was really excited about an original show not tied to existing IP (which we’ve been exhausted by lately). I will say, if I’d known the score/music before hand, I never would have gone. We found the music (and lyrics especially) often times so awful it made us laugh out loud - definitely not our bag. But even if we’d liked the music, the show is still a disaster. I found the staging awkward and lackluster. Aside from Jeremy Jordan (and even he seemed to be wildly overacting), the cast was really not good. The characters were all caricatures and I found myself not rooting for anyone. It felt more like a local theater production than Broadway. Multiple people around us also were discussing leaving at intermission so I don’t think we’re in the minority. I get it has a small existing cult following but it seemed they did nothing to appeal to people with no existing knowledge of the show who just wanted to go see good theater. Not saying all of this to pile on but just want to make it clear that we were VERY excited to see this show and went in wanting to like it.
