Tootsie Reviews

EHH

The first part was enjoyable, but it fell flat. I had a hard time stayng awake during the second half. The two secondary characters were way better than the stars. I had trouble understanding the lead when he played Dorothy. He sure didn't have the lines from the film. Just a lot of fluff. Costumes were great and also the set.

BORING

Save your money for a decent alternative. My wife and I considered leaving at the Intermission. Of interest, there was a group of three people sitting beside us and they thought the program to be full and lacking talent and entertainment value.

HOPED FOR BETTER

My husband and I saw this today . We are both fans of the movie .. and were definitely expecting a comedy . While there were some laughs .. we both yawned more than we laughed . The supporting characters were good, but Michael/Dorothy was less than for us . There is not a song that you can remotely remember when you leave .. and I have no want to listen to it again.

TOOTSIE

Find the movie on Netflix. Michael/Dorothy was over dramatic, perhaps over directed. Dorothy just looked like Michael with a dress on. If you saw the movie, you would probably agree that Julie was miscast. She has a decent voice but in my opinion inappropriate for the role. Jeff and Sandy were terrific but they couldn’t carry two poor leads. Actor in Max’s role was very good but even he couldn’t save this. The score is forgettable and no one left humming a tune. Dance numbers were fine but seemed to just fill space and time. The ending was not a “get up on your feet clapping” but rather “get up on your feet walking out”. These young people work very hard but this’ show is awful.

TOOTSIE

Had several laughs, however they were overshadowed by the poorly written dialogue and the many, many ho ho hum moments throughout. The lead actor worked as Tootsie , yet his singing and speaking parts without the wig were lacking to the point of being irritating. This play really drags on. The only reason I gave it two stars was the wonderful performance of Jeff. I usually love live theater, but not this one.

SORRY…BUT AWFUL!

We enjoy so much seeing plays at the Aronoff in Cincinnati! Tootsie, however, was a complete miss tonight. The singing - by Sandy especially - was so shrill, it was headache inducing. The play itself fell flat even though it seemed that everyone was overacting. The dancing was mediocre and the songs weren’t memorable in a good way. . It was very disappointing and we left at intermission. Very unusual! Normally we leave feeling very upbeat from a wonderful musical!

POOR SINGING, LEADS WERE POORLY CAST, BORING OVERALL

A few bright spots - crazy girlfriend and buff guy who Falls for Dorothy but the rest were weak performances. Definitely not worth a ticket price.
