I don't think I'd ever want to see anyone play Ginger Rogers. :/

I went and saw the production when it was in Long Beach, California. It didn't get everything correct but biographies never do. The production was well done and I enjoyed it. I would recommend it to any Ginger fan but keep an open mind. It was an enjoyable evening.
