Beaches Broadway Musical Falls Short as Nostalgia Act
TL;DR
Deadline's Broadway review finds Beaches, A New Musical largely forgettable, failing to recapture the film’s emotional punch beyond nostalgia for Bette Midler’s Wind Beneath My Wings; Jessica Vosk channels Midler in an over-the-top CeeCee, but the book, a lukewarm score by Mike Stoller, and chintzy design leave the show feeling more like a nostalgia act than a memorable Broadway experience.
