Some parts were really good, and others were disappointing. And not too fond of them changing the ending the way they did. I do like that they re-incorporated Mama I'm a Big Girl now.

Irresistible live staging works as well as it possibly could, with uniformly fine performances from the ensemble; highlighted by Fierstein's iconic Edna, but ably supported by Hudson and a hilarious Chenoweth. Meehan and O'Donnell's original book and score ably complemented by Fierstein's adaptation to television. A true and genuine delight.
