i thought the musical had its moments (pun intended). i liked that it stayed truer to the book than the movie although the movie is a classic! at least you didn’t have to sit thru skinny ass michelle from Destiny’s Child playing Shug Avery!

with that said, i still concur that the broadway adaptation was wack. aaaand i certainly don’t remember albert/mister turning into a good guy
