Reviews

[Nicolas · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is weird, but interesting show. The music is atypical, the characters are a little rough and there is just a lot going on. As is the case with most musicals, I didn't feel like they went deep enough with the characters. A good, actor can do a lot with a little so it's likely that some of the gaps could me smoothed out on stage. I like it. Definitely some rough stuff to work around. What a weird show.
