Saw the Pre-Broadway show on 9/29. It was hilarious, with writing & music perfectly balanced between the original story and a new thread that updated it, and touched on current political & social issues w/o being heavy handed. You loved all the characters by the end of it. The songs were great, and a few should rise to memorable with repeated playing, unlike some shows I've seen recently. It was perfectly staged with great costumes for Dorothy Micheals, and intricate scenery changes. In fact we were at a performance where they had to briefly stop because one of the mechanisms to move the scenery froze, so they brought down the curtain, fixed it, then went on! The only area I thought a little weak was the Micheal's big reveal. He had no back story (like the movie did with Micheal being Dorothy's twin, and proudly and indignantly coming clean). It really needs one! Having Micheal just act guilty & confess just didn't ring true for me. Still a terrific theater experience overall!!!

Loved it, daring Dorothy does it perfectlly. Santino Fontana is outstanding and makes it look easy. Every cast member is great. Want to see it again.

Entertaining and hilarious! Perfect comic timing, everyone was spot on. Oh, except for that pesky trap door Thursday night but we had the perk of Dorothy taking questions from the audience. Lovely night!

An evening of pure delight from start to finish! First a lovely dinner at Trattoria 10, then a quick walk to the fabulous Cadillac Palace Theatre. We had great seats (especially for the ticket price) The acting, music, singing, sets, dancing were all spot on! Even a glith with a stage trap door was handled with humor and grace on Thursday night. Almost like it was part of the show. I tend to get bored easily in musicals and I was thoroughly engaged through the entire production. Have already recommended it to many friends and would love to see it again.

A perfectly formed musical with the best of everything in acting, singing, set design, musical scores and originality. New Yorkers really have something to look forward to when it, unfortunately, leaves Chicago. One of the best musicials I have ever seen.

We saw Tootsie last night (9/23) and it was just fabulous! Santino Fontana was just outstanding as the lead; Lilli Cooper was amazing as Julie Nichols and her voice is simply fantastic and Sarah Stiles as Sandy Lester was just a riot. The actors performed tremendously and the music interludes numbers throughout the performance were just amazing. The orchestra was top notch. It was funny and witty; so good that the time just flew by and before you knew it, the play was over. It left me wanting even more. This production is certainly ready for Broadway. I hope I can get to New York to see it when arrives there. I highly recommend this production.
