The musical itself is pretty decent but not one of my all- time favorites- -there are some really good songs and the ending is great, but there's also a lot of padding and overlength. The whole thing feels like one act of story stretched out into two acts of theater through a ton of dance sequences, reprises, and needlessly long songs. This production doesn't tone down any of these issues (it's enjoyable but runs really long), but it does do a good job of making up for them with great set work and pretty good performances overall. It feels like a real, distinctive production that gives its own interpretation of the show, which was a pleasant surprise. The biggest issue I have with this specific version, honestly, is that the mask is silly as hell. Beyond that and the over- length of the thing, this is a very good production.
