TOOTSIE

The music was too loud for the individual performers. When there was no music there was clarity with the actor but the orchestra played too loud and over road the voices. That was not good

3.0 star rating Stephen from Los Angeles, California

TOOTSIE

Not a great show. Failed attempt to leverage a great movie and the “feminist” statement was weak. The dancers were good but the numbers felt like they were just throw in. Most of the songs were forgettable.

3.0 star rating C. Molinari from Sarasota, Florida

POOR SCRIPT

No matter how talented the cast is, they couldn't make up for a bad script. I loved the original movie but was so disapponted with this version. This seems to be a pattern in this seasons "remake" musical versions of movie comedies.

2.0 star rating JR Norton from New Orleans, Louisiana

IS THIS “THE NEW THEATER EXPERIENCE?”

Based on the applause factor, i felt like the performance was enjoyed by the many, however, I found the subtle messaging and the new progressive wave reflected in the casting and performance way more than I can handle. Would have been a decent high school play, but way off target for my expectations.

EHH

The first part was enjoyable, but it fell flat. I had a hard time stayng awake during the second half. The two secondary characters were way better than the stars. I had trouble understanding the lead when he played Dorothy. He sure didn't have the lines from the film. Just a lot of fluff. Costumes were great and also the set.

2.0 star rating Don from San Diego, California

BORING

Save your money for a decent alternative. My wife and I considered leaving at the Intermission. Of interest, there was a group of three people sitting beside us and they thought the program to be full and lacking talent and entertainment value.

HOPED FOR BETTER

My husband and I saw this today . We are both fans of the movie .. and were definitely expecting a comedy . While there were some laughs .. we both yawned more than we laughed . The supporting characters were good, but Michael/Dorothy was less than for us . There is not a song that you can remotely remember when you leave .. and I have no want to listen to it again.
