"Scandalous" took me on a journey far beyond what I had anticipated, and into the life story of Aimee Semple. It was remarkable for the way in which it invited us in to experience her life, from the time she was a young woman until her untimely death at age 54. Carolee Carmello gave a performance that will certainly earn her a Tony nomination for best actress
in a musical, and the cast surrounding her was impressive as well. The music and dancing swept the story along and us along with it.

Carolee Carmello and Roz Ryan were a huge hit. Tthe supporting cast was equally impressive. What an amazing final performance! Top rate professionals. Finally, a show with a legitimate message! Well done, Kathie Lee! It's unfortunate that the Broadway reviewers and "experts" can't recognize talent when they see it. I am lucky to have been able to attend. Loved every moment of it!

Carolee was incredible, what a magnificent voice!
I was sorry to see it closed, it was original with a
great story to tell. It could have been about 15 minutes shorter.

Scandelous was an amazing depiction of the life of Sister Aimee Semple McPherson! The musical talent of all the cast and especially Carolee Carmelo was incredible! The play ending so early seems like such an injustice.

Let me begin by saying that Gifford's talent brought me back to NYC and Broadway after many years. And as predicted, this show was outstanding. What a pleasure to be entertained, deeply moved and enlightened all at the same time. Carmello's portrayal was completely genuine. Her voice phenominal! But it is not a one woman show...the other actors lent their talent to creating a humor filled musical experience that one does not forget even a week later. Even in this economy, I would like to see it again as I recall my favorite numbers, especially A Girl's Got To Do What A Girl's Got To Do, and the emotionally charged How Could You.

The singing was outstanding. I enjoyed the format with the main character,Amy, giving monologues which explained and moved the plot along. All the supporting actors did
a wonderful job in their roles. I though the sets were original in the approach used to set the scenes over time and still keep the sense of a grand cathedral in the style of most evangelical preachers. The final comments about Amy's life were an unexpected surprise - I plan to do some research to learn more about her life. An afternoon well spent - not sure why the critics were not favorable in their reviews.

Scandalous was the worst play I have ever seen. The singing was fine but the songs were lousy,really not much of a story. It was so bad, that despite paying all that for our tickets, we left at the intermission

This play is awesome! The talent is exceptional! I now plan to read more about the main character, Aimee Semple, as my interest to learn more is great after seeing the show. I don't understand the politics of Broadway, as I heard the closing date had been announced and the reviews were not good. This is malarkey, as this is a play for everyone. Don't pay any attention to the NY critics. Listen to tourists who pay the bills there. GO SEE IT WHILE YOU CAN! Tell Kathy Lee to write another!

I could not believe that this musical got bad reviews by anyone. My husband and I took my mom for her birthday and we all LOVED it. The story line, the music, the cast, it was truly wonderful. It made it even more special because we saw Kathie Lee who came and spoke to people right behind us. Would highly recommend Scandalous to everyone I know.

When my husband said that he wanted to go see "Scandalous", I was a little wary, as I was sure that he would be disappointed. He was looking forward to a show about the life of Amy Semple McPherson and I knew that, being a musical, it would probably be pretty "schmaltzed" up. He LOVED it, and so did I. I appreciate musicals in a way that he doesn't, but it had both the great accurate story line for him, and the wonderful music and acting that I enjoy. It was a wonderful uplifting night of entertainment. The singing was fantastic (as you expect from Broadway) and the casting was perfect. (I always enjoy the supporting characters and was not disappointed here).

I had seen the original production of this play, then titled "Saving Aimee'" at Signature Theatre in Arlington. I think it was in 2007. I was disappointed when I read the reviews but decided to go to see the final product of this play. I enjoyed the show. Carolee Carmello was super fantastic. Also enjoyed Edward Watts, Roz Ryan, Candy Buckley and Andrew Samonsky. Sadly, George Hearn was not in the performance I saw. I did not like his substitue.I hope they will release a CD. If "Now.Here.This." can get a CD out using the on-line service where people like me can make small donations (forgot the name) so can KLG. Just started reading the boook - it will be interesting to compare. "Saving Aimee" was a better title - Aimee saves, but who can save Aimee? "Scandalous" reminds me of the Smash TV Show musical, "Bombshell."
