"Too be completely honest the gravitas of the play is a 1/10th of the film, but it still packed an emotional punch. Not gonna lie, I cried in the 2nd act. It is worth a watch, but the first act is a mishmash, which is clearly why it isn’t a smash hit. There are a few musical highlights but no showstopper song that brings it all home. The multiple Noah and Ally configurations that appear on stage at the same time for no apparent reason other than harmonies adds nothing to the narrative. If I didn’t know this was a device prior to seeing the play, not sure I wouldn’t had been super confused. "

"I thought the idea was good and the actors were good, but a few of the characters’ singing was just mediocre, and it kind of took away from the plot. Honestly, the best actor was the physical therapist, who wasn’t even one of the main guys, and the best singer was the guy who played Lon. HE should have been the middle aged Noah. "

"Little chemistry between the generational couples except for the “old” couple in the second act. Music is unmemorable The empathy level of the head nurse was generally cold except for the very last scene. My favorite character was the PT who showed youthful naivety yet professional and personal growth. "
