Good but with flaws

I agree that David Hasselhoff is not the best choice in the world to play this role. He is not the best singer or actor that the stage has ever scene. However, as Grey Satterfield said, this is a extremely hard role to for any actor and most especially both acting and singing the same part. Even though David is not strong in either, you have got to admire a man who tries, and I believe that David did give it his best effort. And that is admirable. The production is first rate, would have loved to have seen this live. But even for a video they kept it in the traditional theater style. I give it 7/10 stars.
