"Jessica Vosk is not a newcomer; she's been rising like cream for the past 15 years, including as Elphaba in Wicked. But her portrayal of Cee Cee marks the first time she has originated a major role on Broadway, and she's terrific: She grabs you with her warmth and humor and holds you with her vocal power."
"With the exception of its Cee Cee, alas, almost everything about the musical is C-minus at best. The musical, which covers decades in the evolving best friendship between the vulgar and showbizzy Cee Cee and the rich and pretty Bertie, has had a troubled gestation since its 2014 world premiere in Virginia."
"The scars and amputations from all this show doctoring are in painful evidence in the final product, which limps into the Majestic Theatre seeming already winded."
Jessica Vosk delivers a strong performance as Cee Cee Bloom in a Broadway musical adaptation, marking her first major role. Despite her talent, the musical suffers from a troubled production history and lacks overall quality. The narrative follows the friendship between Cee Cee and Bertie, played by Kelli Barrett, but the show has faced significant challenges, including changes in creative personnel. The final product appears disjointed and underwhelming, with the effects of its troubled development evident throughout the performance.
