This was my first time watching the play. I'm a history buff. I'm also a Lloyd-Weber fan.
This was a disappointment. I guess my first gripe is the soundtrack. It's just non-stop thumping. It gets monotonous. The 'I'm not satisfied' number is well performed but goes on too long. The sets are unambitious. Costumes look nice but why not add some color to the view? The lead actor doesn't fill the shoes of the character he's trying to portray. Sorry.
With all the hype this has received, I'm quite surprised by my reaction to it.
