I'm biased because I feel like one thing Vegas is lacking is original musicals. We have plenty of magic and variety acts, but original musicals are really hard to come by. And in one week I found out two of them are closing (or going on hiatus) - this and Baz!
I felt this show was a solid performance. I didn't know much about Marilyn going into it, but I felt like I learned a lot and was inspired to look her up when I got back. There's some minor nitpicks here about the flow or story, but overall I thought it was well put together. I like how the bus driver tells the story and leads us through her life. Some of the musical numbers were better than others (I've never been a fan of the slow ones), but DAMN that Marilyn can sing.
This show is now on "hiatus" so it'll be interesting to see if it comes back and how they change it. I think the show was pretty good, so I hope they don't mess with it too much. I know having a full on musical production can be costly, but I think it definitely adds to the effect. The Paris showroom was a good place for it too. I guess we will have to wait and see how it changes.
