I saw this show in San Francisco on 3/2/23 with 6 other friends.
I'm really conflicted because I love going to the theatre. I feel that everyone who works on a show deserves a ton of respect for showing up night after night to perform like it's their first performance. I have seen dozens of shows and this is the first time I left disappointed.
The 6 actors who portrayed Henry's wives were excellent. They could sing and dance, and they almost made up for the fact that the entire play is almost unwatchable. The story is garbage, the costumes are absurd, and the stage setup is more of a pop show than anything else.
I thought I was alone in feeling this way, but everyone in my group felt that they had not only seen better but if there was an intermission that we would have left.
Save the $$$ and see anything else.
