My 2 cents
Thumbs up:
- Annaleigh Ashford as Columbia. She made the character fresher without straying too much from the original.
- Adam Lambert as Eddie, short appearance but with a lot of impact and great singing.
- Great art direction, full of references to the original movie.
Thumbs down:
- Laverne Cox certainly worked hard, but she never manages to reach the depth Tim Curry managed to reach in the original, both in acting and singing.
- The songs were way too sanitized and lost a lot of their edge. The best one was "Rose Tint My World", but still not great.
- I know it's FOX, but the final result was too family-friendly. The choreography in "Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me" was so "safe" it was laughable.
