Alright, for a friends' YT channel I'm working on a big review retrospective about Pokemon Live. I know Chadtronic, Buzzfeed, and TheGamerFromMars already made videos on it, but it's a topic I'm passionate about. Plus, I don't feel either of them actually touched on the contents of the musical itself.
The script itself is at 7 pages. I'm so invested in my work (a.k.a have no life) I actually have a flash drive with all my resources in case something happens to my PC.
Sad, I know.

I'm also making a few hail-mary messages to get more information about the musical and it's productions.
I've done many of these in the past, and it's only ever worked once. Jon Burton from Travelers' Tales. Good guy, him.

What's everyone's general opinion on it? Has anyone seen it live?
I haven't completed the whole musical yet, but from what I've seen it's so Hammy it'd feed a family.
But I'm enjoying it. It's dumb, but fun. The actors definitely have enough talent to not make it horrible to listen to. The fact the professionally recorded American verison was never released means the bootlegs we do have aren't exactly good, but they're pretty good by Bootleg standards. Nothing's overly hard to make out or hard to hear. Afaik it might've been dubbed, I dunno. Overall, in my opinion the show wouldn't be very memorable other than the time capsule of Pokemania it is, but the novelty makes it something I quite enjoy.

I never saw it IRL, though I really wish I did. It was 3 hours away, and I would've gone if i had the ability/knew about it.
Ah well, such as life.

Looking back at it now it's just dumb fun and an interesting curiosity from the height of the Pokemon fad in the U.S. At the time however it was a pretty bad out of character cash grab on the franchise with Ash, Misty, Brock, TR, etc. all being out of character and an overall wash.

It's stuff like this that makes me glad Americans never had control over the writing of the anime or its direction. Just there mere fact that the writers have no clue what to do with Misty/Brock aside to pander them for nostalgia says a lot.
