    This looked forced and cranked-up-to-fun-13 from the trailers...

    ...so Stephanie's review ain't no surprise here. Geez, does everyone from peasant to hotel owner on this island wear festive outfits 24/7 and walk around ready to throw confetti and flowers at the drop of a hat? If a musical features a cast ready to break into joyous song and dance every minute, that's never a good sign--especially if they aren't giving you much talent or good numbers to look at.
