Title: Listen For Yourself (but try not to pay for it)
Review: To compare this show to FLOYD COLLINS and RENT is a breath-taking bit of hubris. FLOYD COLLINS was an original piece of theatre, and RENT was at least ... slightly unusual. This show just didn't have anything going for it; it was a little cute, a little tuneful, but mostly dull and familiar. The producers probably hoped that would insure success, since Broadway audience generally love the unchallenging and familiar. But if, even with Cameron Mackintosh's money behind them, the writers can't get their shows to succeed in America, there doesn't seem to be much hope of their becoming the hope of the musical theatre.
Is the review positive or negative?
