Sorry, but "La Vie Boehme" was overwrought and borderline embarassing.

Okay, this honestly, is the kind of review I expected from a viewer that wasnt already in love with the broadway show.
I did like the new staging of Take Me or Leave Me, and Cover Me has always been a fave.

Jesse L Martin brings the viewer "in" in my opinion, and I am glad to see that I wasnt too far off.
