Moulin Rouge… girl…
I was so excited to see the touring production & see a show that’s been on my list forever. First number was so incredible I thought it would be in my top 3 shows overall.
Then came the heart of the show. This gave me such “millennial core” humor. I rarely feel like I want to leave a show, and I sat through a rough production of mean girls.
This show broke my heart. The new songs picked were so cheesy, ridiculously timed, and unserious that I had ZERO investment in this show. How it’s been running for as long as it has been is insane.
Jordan Fisher, I know you turn everything you touch to gold. I don’t know how you’re gonna save this show 😭
Edit: After lots of conversations and good points made, I want to address one reoccurring topic. It can be different from the movie, that’s fine! What I’m upset about is that the entire premise is this solemn and gut wrenching story has been turned in to a parody play. My brain’s equivalent? Imagine if they did this to Titanic 🤨 If it’s a comedy, make that clear please! Their marketing screams “drama”, “alluring”, “DARING”. Give me a break.
