Billy Elliot Wins Tony...Did I See the Same Show?

Maybe I'm going to get shot for this, and I'm going to do a more complete rundown tomorrow morning, but am I the only person who has ever seen Billy Elliot: The Musical that didn't like it? I liked the movie and I think that the show works well with what it's got, but I think it's both overly-sentimental and ultimately forgettable. Although, I will have to say that the boys who play Billy are amazing.

Congratulations to all the winners at the 63rd Tony Awards, and look for an update on what I liked (Angela Lansberry, Next to Normal) and what I didn't (the road pieces, the presentation for "Best Featured Actress")
