“Live commercials” (apparently seen as a throwback to the time of the musical) leading into regular commercials was also uncomfortable.

Still, that’s largely quibbling about a presentation that came about as close as TV can to conveying the allure of a live theatrical experience. Here’s all the information you need, to guarantee you don’t miss a moment of fun.
