Having seen HAIRSPRAY, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, and LEGALLY BLONDE..to me, it seems like a lot of Jerry Mitchell's typical fare, and a bit of recycling at that.
That being said, between the team and the cast, I feel this show has a lot of potential and even with some out-of-town flaws and bumps, it may shape up quite nicely for Broadway.
This show seems generic in every way. I don't know who finances these things. It looks like Priscilla meets La Cage. I can't see these running very long even with raves, which I doubt. Mitchell's work is a little staid at this point.
Well, Hal Luftig won the lotto producing early on in his career, and he seems to have been a loyal backer to Jerry Mitchell's projects for some time now. I agree that the clips posted here make the show seem very hollow and derivative.
Sorry, Mercades, but the second video is a full nearly 6 minutes long and I've seen enough of Mitchell's work to recognize the patterns. I do hope the show surprises me though, I LOVE the movie.
