Know the show isn’t necessarily a favorite here, but I actually really enjoyed quite a bit of the music and am excited to listen when it comes out!

I've made it clear that this is not my favorite show, but there are some great musical numbers in this, like Roaring On, For Her, My Green Light, and Beautiful Little Fool. I've heard they've made some changes to New Money since the first preview, which I hope is true because I thought it was ok but not perfect. I mainly enjoyed that Sam Pauly finally has a big belting number for her character, which she didn't have when this was at Paper Mill. Overall, even if this show flops on Broadway, I am glad it will be preserved on a cast album.
The idea is to work and to experiment. Some things will be creatively successful, some things will succeed at the box office, and some things will only - which is the biggest only - teach you things that see the future. And they're probably as valuable as any of your successes. -Harold Prince

Roaring On is such an earworm and has gotten stuck in my head countless times since I saw this at the Paper Mill. Glad I’ll finally get to rock out to that one without having to look up the rehearsal footage they released on YouTube, as I’ve been doing!

count me in as one that really enjoyed this too --- the music is very catchy, including the new & much improved "New Money", and am looking forward to this recording.
I'm actually suprised that no has really mentioned the choregraphy. VERY "Fosse", and some of the best moves on Broadway this season

It's funny how personal taste works, because despite being well performed, the songs in this show had no staying power with me (some of the lyrics made me especially cringe) and I found the choreography awkward and not terribly impactful. I would actually tend to use the same description for the show as a whole.
