Master's notes: This is a fun show. I'm apparently easily swayed by biopic musicals with lots of big flashy numbers - it's not deep, cerebral content, but it's just fun, man. Robyn Hurder is a legend; Forever in Blue Jeans was a religious experience for me. however, the audience was out of control: I'm not convinced half the old women knew they were at a Broadway show and not an actual Neil Diamond concert (not to mention what they did to poor Nick Fradiani at stage door...) and you might be able to hear me let out an 'oh no' when I realized Sweet Caroline was starting at the end of Act 1. lots of singing along. I guess that's the drawback to these biopic musicals with lots of big flashy numbers.
