You guys are a little harsh on it, I think.
I don't think it would be possible to be too harsh
But seriously, we just didn't get it.
There was really no point to the "moving stage." It just moved to moved (Except for the ONE spot where Mary and Joseph were walking to Bethlehem and the stage moved with them. That was cool.)
There was nothing interesting or special about the musical selections and arrangements. They were just all over the place, just like the rest of the show. It was like they couldn't decide what they wanted it to be so they just threw everything against the wall.
The "slideshows" were uninteresting. They looked like stock slides from a travel agency and a JC Penny catalog. (BTW, I'm pretty sure of the several dozen families and children that were shown during the JC Penny segement, every single one was white.)
And the costumes...I mean, wow. They looked like something from Star Trek. They were flat out horrible.
The whole thing was embarrassingly corny. We felt awful for the performers. We kept checking our watches during the show like watching a bad comedian bomb and you're hoping his set will come to a merciful end. It seemed like a spoof.
Needless to say, we were highly disappointed. At least we had QQ's. I would have gone nuclear if we had wasted an hour waiting in line for that.
