And how unsurprising that they chose to go with the Saint Diana narrative rather than acknowledge that it's all very messy and she used the press for her own ends too So you didn't watch it then? That's exactly what 'pretty pretty girl' is all about at the end of Act 1 and what she does pretty much all of act 2, for good and bad.

This is certainly a fabulous show. Watching it on Netflix does not do it justice but I can’t get the music out of my head. You sit there and you know it’s not good but you have a great time anyway. If You take it for what it is - it’s fun. It all sort of works in a weird sort of way. When I saw it in person it really took it to the next level and Jeanna is absolutely fabulous as are the costumes.
This is not the train wreck I was hoping it would be. Again it’s not good… But it’s not hard to sit through and you have fun, especially laughing at some of the lines and jokes that don’t work. But overall I had a fun time

I'm sad to live in a world where this gets preserved for posterity but things like Hal Prince's original A Little Night Music didn't. :/

If producers fork up the money, they can do it.

Watched it again tonight. I may be completely mad, but there are some really great bops in this. I honestly think if the subject matter were slightly different (or perhaps if more time had passed - like Elisabeth the Musical, for example), then this could have done reasonably well?
'The Main Event' is wonderful.
I think I really, really, really like it?!?!?
