Sutton is definetly a talented performer, no doubt about it, but there was absolutely no reason as to why her character required so much screen time, as opposed to Lane, Jess, or any number of characters who actually had roles during the original run of GG. I thought the entire musical was drawn out far too long. They could have shown the first two scenes of the play and Lorelai's bewilderment and moved on, but they spent 15-20 minutes on a show that added nothing to the storylines of the two main characters (except for the final song).

Exactly!

Ha, agreed. It's kind of disrespectful to characters who were in the series to begin with.
