@bear88yaya - I think that has been the general consensus on this show, especially from the reviewers I read normally. Many of us fell in the "good but not great, many missed opportunities" camp. They'll need to tighten up some stuff before it gets to Broadway for sure. And yes, second act is certainly a better, more tightly written offering. As always, thank you for reading!
