I have to say, I didn't hate Laverne Cox but I think she was the weakest member of the cast. She seemed to be over-acting, but having never watched the original RHPS, I'm not sure if that is what the role calls for. I will have to go watch the original.

Ok, here goes. Adam absolutely NAILED Eddie and his was the best vocal and visual performance in the show. Best character portrayal, and certainly the most FUN. I have to be honest, I thought the show as a whole was kind of slow-paced and awkward. I know the show is supposed to be campy and crazy and really out there. I saw the original years and ago but haven't seen it recently. This new one got kind of tedious to me. I kept wanting to speed up. The other voices were just fine, and the humor was there, but I though some of it was kind of klunky. No wonder some of the reviewers are a little tepid about the whole show but are giving Adam great praise. I think his was the strongest performance. LOVED those huge pictures of him in the background and the casket with Eddie's body inside. And I admit, I didn't quite catch on to Adam being one of the singing lips till about half way through! Overall, I had a great time watching. Wish there could have been MORE ADAM!

To be honest, I also found the movie to be rather tedious. Fun for a while, but then I wanted .... something more. It lacked energy or conviction. Except for Adam of course.

It does help to have seen the original. Gives you a perspective on the original vision of the show. Yes, they are little different. The original is grittier and less slick. Many people prefer the original for that reason. The new one is brighter and glossier. Adam is definitely the star of this new one. No doubt in my mind!

I think the momentum of the show suffered because of the commercial breaks. I found some of the acting towards the end was unbelievable unless they were going for cartoon like. Highlights for me was all the Adam bits. I think Eddie became a bigger role than in the original but I thought his murder scene was lame. The audience participation seemed stilted at times. Loved the lips at the end.
