Maybe it is because I am such a huge fan of the radio show and the ShowTime show that my expectations were too high. The performances were wonderful, but it wasn't anywhere near as entertaining as most of the radio broadcasts and not even close to any of the ShowTime shows. I would not recommend this to a friend; however I would recommend that they use the money to purchase the ShowTime series. All that being said, I will definitely attend the next live show in theaters. I know you can do better.
