Query: Very Poor Adaptation

Kind of critical to a musical are singers who can act (ideally) or actors who can sing (also great). There is so much of neither in this project. The songs don't translate well to the gravelly, pop-scarred vocal chords of the majority of the cast, most egregiously Brandy, Whoopie and Whitney. A few standouts, though: The prince, B. Peters, Cox, Garber -- most of whom are Broadway musical vets.Such a shame.
