Mixed Reviews for Broadway's 'New York, New York' Musical

The new Broadway musical "New York, New York" is a love story set in post-World War II New York City, but the city itself is the main character. The show features a grab bag of songs by John Kander and Fred Ebb, as well as new work by Kander and Lin-Manuel Miranda. However, the show's crucial flaw is the underwritten and underperformed storyline of the main characters, leaving the supporting characters to take up the slack. The musical is visually stunning but lacks momentum and critical perspective, relying too heavily on clichés and old tropes.
