I finally went to a Broadway show. After going, I remembered that Broadway shows are rarely thought provoking. It didn't matter though; the show was tons of fun. Marissa Jaret Winokur played the lead and she was fantastic. I also thought that Kerry Butler, who played Penny Pingleton, was ridiculously cute. The rest of the cast was just fine.
The play was entertaining as a whole, but there were some mildly offensive parts. I wondered if people were laughing because it was funny or because they felt awkward. I'd like to think it's the latter but I'd be kidding myself.
The singing was really nice.
