Flash of 70's Sequins: "His limbs twirling like the blades of a windmill, Mr. Jackman channels the energy that was Allen with a rejuvenating life force all his own. And you don't feel — as you so often do with such interpretations — that your memories of the prototype have been blurred. This is a performance that, against the odds, holds on to its integrity."

His Hughness gets rave reviews from the NYTimes, while the show itself gets panned. In general, I'd have to agree with the reviewer's assessment. Not only that the show is mediocre, but that Hugh Jackman, by sheer force of will and talent, makes it worth the price of admission.
