This has been playing on the West End for quite awhile now and I think the only reason why its finally come to the USA is because they see the need for movie-base musicals! Sorry, still a little upset that the big show on Broadway are just remakes. Anyway, it's have a successfull run over in London so who knows, it may be pretty decent. Billy Elliot is also making its way here. Again, London's pouncing on the opportunity of Broadway's latest fad.
