I was really hoping I'd love this, but I didn't. It was visually authentic, but the music was completely destroyed! How do you miss on something as important as the music, in this play??? The "Berta Berta" scene was completely altered, and "Rambling, Gambling Man" was nowhere to be found. Damn shame. They also never show the Yellow Dog train, just smoke! What?

Don't get me started on how stupid they made Lymon. He wasn't dumb in the play, just lonely, naive, and sensitive. I really hated his portrayal. Secondly, Charles Dutton will forever be my favorite Boy Willie. Baby boy Washington just wasn't getting it.

It's not completely messed up, just too different for my tastes. The Washingtons should have just kept the classic aspects in tact.

This show should have been called Everyone F$&@s Kimber! Honestly, the amount of time they returned to that storyline is utterly embarrassing. Even after they turned her into a methhead!!! Wtf??? Matt is ANNOYING from start to finish! I swear! None of these people ever should have been parents? Someone as level-headed as Liz should NEVER have stayed with McNamara/Troy! This entire cast is DESPICABLE! Maybe that was the point. I will not deny, however, that this is show is definitely very revealing about privilege, wealth, misogyny, racism, and greed that lives so comfortably in the United States.
