Negative Positive
Title: Poor. Miscast. Good job by Houston, but overall: poor.
Review: Huh? B. Peters as the step mom? Goldberg as the queen? Didn't they switch those two. Bernanette is much too pretty to be the step mom, while Whoopy would be perfect (if she could act mean).Jason Alexander as the royal aid was also awful. The man is funny, but he can't sing. This is a MUSICAL. It comes across as not funny and not musical.Too many of the songs don't carry the action, they STOP it.When Whitney (Fairy God Mother) comes on (42 minutes into it), it does get a lot better. She is very good. But it's just too far into this mess to make it enjoyable. Rent it. Don't buy it.
