She hasn't been getting rave reviews at all - everyone has been clamoring that she's too weak for the role, and that she's nearly exhausted by the end. She's already missed several shows for being "sick".
They were PRAYING she'd win the Tony to give the show some legs [she didn't] because the show costs something like a 1/2 million a week in production costs, and already, 1/2 the tickets are being sold for 1/2 price at TKTS.
That being said, although I loathe Broadway I'm tempted to see this one to see how my friends and the critics can be so far apart on this one.
