Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade: Hell's Kitchen

I feel relatively "meh" about Hell's Kitchen myself. I think it's a good enough show for what it is. I'm just not a huge fan of Jukebox musicals and the soundtrack here doesn't really do a ton for me, but I think it has good stuff. I like the energy of the show and I do think the costume/scenic design/choreography is pretty fun. Nonetheless, I can't say I came into this show with super specific or high hopes.

The songs they chose make sense. The opening number is a great energy to start with, and ending with Empire State of Mind is also a must I suppose. I thought the cast did great. Honestly, dancing in the rain kind of added to the gritty New York feel, so while I feel bad for the cast, they worked it. It also kind of looked like they might have been singing live somewhat? If that's the case, that's pretty cool. Only critique is I don't know that I needed them to keep cutting away to the crowd, that seemed kind of unnecessary and distracting, but camera choices aside, I think the show itself did a good job and I had a good time watching.
