Yes it’s a musical, but all those bad reviews made it seem like it was 2 hours of non stop singing when in reality it’s sprinkled in there. They advertised it as a musical so I’m not sure what the shock is there.
It was entertaining enough and both actors did a spectacular job. People are just review bombing it so 1 if your a fan of musicals you’ll probably like it. If you’re a fan of DC and a fan of lady Gaga you will probably like it. If you hate any of those things you probably won’t. Use your own mind to make your own decisions.
