Highlights:
- The numbers that feature the young members of the cast: especially "A Lot of Livin' to Do," "Telephone Hour," and the lovely blend of voices in "One Boy"
- Nolan Funk in the role as Conrad Birdie
- The colorful, over the top 60's pop decor, costumes, and set
- John Stamos' charming and light-footed stage presence
- Full orchestra playing great classic, musical theatre standards
- The incredible physique of Gina Gershon, emphasized by a stunning wardrobe
- A very cute curtain-call number
- Gina Gershon was off-key for the whole show
- The casting of the adult roles--No one stands out except Bill Irwin (who the CB's normally love!) and it wasn't in a good way. He had a very strange take on the role of Kim's father that was funny at first, but quickly became annoying.
- No chemistry between Stamos and Gershon
- Nothing, except the amount of money they put into it, that made lifted it beyond the level of a good community theater production

Overall would you say this show is worth seeing? I have heard mixed reviews about it and really want to see it the next time I come to NY in March.
It's worth seeing--there are good points--but there are definitely better shows playing now. Just depends on your personal taste. John Stamos is fun to see--although he doesn't have much of a voice, he has a quite charming presence on stage.
ok thanks!!! I will keep that in mind. What other shows are good that are playing right now?
