Never expected to like this

Rating: 6/10 (24 January 2019)

I wasn't sure if I was to like this as I tend to duck the hyped titles from Hollowwood.
Well the first act of three parts was perky enough to keep me in the evolvement of the story, then the second act dropped the ball with a less than gripping conflict build up as jazz ambition is swapped for easier cash. To me this was the least musical part as it circled this uninteresting part in an attempt to have real conflict of interest. Act three was a 15 minute montage that made a reprise of the developed story and the eternal question of what could have become if we down our path had the chance to choose over, go into other direction and have a life that could have been the fulfilment we ought to have had.
I thought this part was genuinely moving.
But musicals are to be full of music, yes ? No ? I was hoping a little for something closer to heart as I was swept by A Chorus Line and All That Jazz.
This was nostalgic and a little to bland.
