Saw this at the Ziegfield on Friday. The costumes and locations were gorgeous,
some of the songs were big and fun and over the top, but overall, I wouldn't recommend it. I expected more from Daniel Day-Lewis, his accent was bad and distracting, and as Dina and I agreed, the lyrics to most of the musical numbers are pretty dumb, which was again distracting.
And sometimes when DDL was singing it reminded me of that Dracula song that Jason Segal sings in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Skip to 1:15 in to see what I am talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5ZtwbzUFZE
