Spoiler warning - this is just part one. I didn’t know that going into it so its abrupt ending left me hanging.
It’s a musical with massive special effects. Erivo & Grande have the pipes for big broadway show tunes. Erivo was a revelation - such a powerhouse in singing and acting. Grande I’ve followed from her beginning. Sam and Cat was at the very tale end of Tara watching shows like that so she’s like Cyrus & Zendaya - saw them early, recognized their talent from the start, and have watched their ascension with joy. Yeoh & Goldblum can’t sing - they are here as contrast. Yang is annoyingly gay. Menzel & Chenoweth also have the pipes and appear together in an all-to-short cameo. The sets and cgi settings are garishly opulent, what you might expect. They do open up the show to be more cinematic and that works.
Recommended only to D00Mers who like musicals. Tell me I’m not alone here.
