I agree about the slow tempos too.
Will be there this weekend and will give a full update when I get home on Monday with my thoughts and musings about all the new changes.
I also thought that the dancing was "pedestrian" too. Like it did lack something. I could see most of the old moves through the new stuff, but since the Jellicle Songs segment was so short, only a few verses, I don't have much to go on. Have to see how it all looks in person.
Also, Leona gave a good delivery I thought. She had a slight "Mariah Carrey" warble to her notes though, that pop star crap thrown in which I'm not a fan of.
Also, on a side note, taking away Growltiger was horrible for me. I have always loved that section of the show of Gus' "memory." Having it cut since it is now considered "racist" is upsetting to me. They could have changed the actors to singing in a normal voice, instead of the sing-song chanting. The Siamese are the good guys!

It's such a funny number with the hammy Opretta by Growl and Griddle too. Throwing in Pekes in Act 2 is a shame, plus it shortens the show quite a bit.
