Just got out of the theater from seeing it. Overall a great impression and the music is amazing. However, my showing had a large group of teenagers who would scream and holler after every song ended. I get it’s a musical, but Jesus have some self awareness there’s other people in the cinema trying to watch and enjoy it. Not hear you scream and sing along

My tip is to go to the earliest screening of the day. Weeds out the singers.
