I enjoyed it as well, it was a big fixture of my musical theatre enjoyer phase back in the day and I think it really lived up to the play.
I always thought the politics were decent for being half-baked, since it at least gets "fascism bad" and "capitulating to fascists for personal benefit also bad".
The heavy homoerotic subtext also holds a special place in my heart, really glad they turned it up to an eleven.
Ariana Grande did a much better job than I was expecting, too, she was really good at playing up the camp.
Strongly agree with your whole comment. I wish it followed through more with the opposition to ethnically cleansing animal people, but maybe they'll get more into that in part 2 (I haven't watched/read the source material).
