💉💉💉 out of 5.

This was my second time seeing this show – – but this time almost a decade separated my first time seeing the show and my recent visit.  As I recall, the first visit, this musical was so naughty, edgy, and avant guard.  My how times have changed.  Now, some ten years later, it has joined the ranks of other “tourist shows” with its tables of “merch” sold in the lobby.  It’s “nastiness” now is handled with no more than a small reminder on the ticketing site that it does contact some adult language.   What I noticed with this recent version is how much the production has missed Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells.
