Amazing! Loved it!

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2007)

While I never saw the stage production, I heard good things about the story. I anxiously awaited for the opening...I was a bit worried about overhype, but I was amazed and loved it.
Incredible performances all around! I can't decide who I liked most. The music and singing were great. Who knew Eddie Murphy could sing so well, he was amazing. I am not an American Idol fan, so I had never seen Jennifer Hudson preform...wow! What a voice! I was worried I wouldn't be able to see past 'Beyonce' to the character, but she simply disappeared into the role.
Great ending for 2006.
