This revival was so much fun! It was a throwback to the classic musical and quite a companion to what we saw last night--I wonder what Cole Porter would have thought of "Book of Mormon"? Anyway, Sutton Foster was BRILLIANT as a Reno so awesome that she made the lead characters' romance positively puzzling.
My only other gripe with this show is that I've heard the book (anything not sung) was updated/rewritten. I haaaaate when this happens. It's a form of lying about history. The show was written in 1934, let it reflect that time. So, one would have to read the original show to know if it was this much fun and if the writers in 1934 were talented enough to write something this timeless.
