I really enjoyed the way the classic moments of this story were transferred to the stage, especially the immortal - "No one puts Baby in a corner!" Judging by my own response and that of the audience we had all been waiting for that!
However, despite the great acting and enormous talent displayed, I could not help but feel that the musical moved from scene to scene very quickly, and i don't feel that i was able to fully absorb and enjoy the story, especially the building romance between Baby and Johnny.
All in all, I enjoyed the night and was able to appreciate the talent that the actors displayed, but i did feel much more involved with the story when i watched the film.
