Did the Critics Find Hot Feet a Shining Star of the Season?
Ok, so here is the age old challenge: MT's who dance and sing but can't act. Heres another age old challenge: MT's who can sing but can't dance. Apparently, these two challenges are coming to fruition in this musical. One reviewer said their dancing was between "lurching and frenzied." I ask you, how do you sing and know beats and rhythms and then you cannot move your feet? I understand the dancing without the singing...but if you can understand music and the rhythm of music, why can't you move to it? Even a little bit?
