So funny and clever. Loved Matthew Broderick, it was so cool to see him up close. The rest of the cast were excellent. Haven't laughed so much in ages. Everything musical theatre comedy is supposed to be. More

I saw it with this Jonas teenage star ,not the "Harry Potter" guy. Its a nice, vibrant musical, romantic , easy and sometimes funny. Cast is over-all very good. It was a pure entertainment, I enjoyed while I was there, but didn't stay with me and didn't need to go tell friends about it... More

We picked this musical during a recent trip to NYC as one of our theatre outings. We saw it while Daniel Radcliffe and Jon Larquette were still in it. We really enjoyed it, though, we went into it not too sure what to expect. It's a light comedy and love story. It's quite humourous. A lot of the songs are... More

2nd time for each of us. If you never saw Robert Morse in the lead, or are a big fan of teen idols, you may think this is great. The reason I only give this three circles is the lead: Nick Jonas, who just doesn't have the voice (not yet) for the Broadway stage. The rest of the cast was... More

Unfortunately, this fantastic show is closing on May 20, 2012. It really is a crowd pleaser, with a wonderful score by Frank Loesser (performed by a GREAT orchestra), terrific choreography by the director, Rob Ashford (executed by the best dancers in NYC), beautiful sets and costumes, and great performances by Nick Jonas and Beau Bridges, as well as by the...

We got our heavily discounted ticktes through the Theater Development Fund (you can join for a year for $12) in advance and really enjoyed this. Nick Jonas was very good in the play. Beau Bridges was pretty good. It was a fun and enjoyable play. More

The show was really good. I saw it with Nick Jonas in it. While he was very good at acting, his voice was not a Broadway voice. Overall, it was a good show. More

First play I saw in New York City. Its light-hearted and funny. Good to see with friends or family. Daniel Radcliffe was charming and John Larroquette was witty. More
