I felt stunned afterward!

Rating: 5/10 (2 June 2001)

It was very colorful with many exotic costumes and sets!
My eyes were fairly popping out. In fact, I wish they had finished out the dances instead of cutting them off. We didn't get to see the precision can-can dancers line up kicking for more than 30 seconds at a time, which was disturbing to me; because I love dancing.
The love story was satisfying. Kylie Minogue has a 2 minute Peter Pan-like flying and singing part which is excellent, but I wish they had given her a bigger part.
The old pop songs blend very well. I especially loved "Like a Virgin! which was a comedy." There is singing about 80% of the time!!! The music was loud; your ears will be ringing.
Saturday, 4 pm and the theater was completely full; nearly all were over 50. I'm pretty sure kids would be bored unless they were little Billy Elliot dancers. No one applauded, not during and not at the end. At the end you could hear a pin drop. 50% of the audience began to leave immediately, and the rest either stood in the aisles talking or sat watching the credits.
The lasting impression was that too much was happening too quickly and too many scenes ended prematurely.
