An enjoyable rendition of the Webber/Rice saga, brilliantly staged, competently sung/acted, incessantly broken up by commercials. I’ll be adding the video to my collection (but not the sound track).
Rating: ★★★★ of 5 (with a ♥ )

Fwiw, no commercials in the Hulu version.
+Kee Hinckley Well, with the DVR it was easy to skip forward. And for some of the commercial breaks they had a teeny-tiny picture-in-picture of "backstage," so that was interesting.
In most cases, the commercials came after major numbers when there was a set change; it was more of a tonal disruption than anything else.
