Overall, the musical is worth seeing, but only for the matinee price. The singing by both Mills and Talmadge is weak and unclear, leaving one constantly straining to hear them.

Everyone knows the songs and can sing along, but it would have been great to hear one of these characters, preferably the King, really belt one out.

...Ritz. Though there was enough space there to park a couple of moving vans, Paul curiously executed several unnecessary back-and-forth maneuvers. It was then about 10:08. Exactly what he did during the more than two hours it took Di and Dodi to finish their meal is unclear. The French daily Liberation last week quoted an unnamed Ritz employee saying Paul cooled his heels in the hotel's Hemingway bar drinking pastis.
