Review:
The pastiche score isn't one for the ages (though you'll remember the "Hold me, Bat Boy" refrain), but this is cleverly crafted, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink kitsch that grabs an audience and never lets go. And if you think - as with so many musicals - the second act will run out of ideas and steam, you're in for an invigorating surprise.
