My overall impression

I absolutely loved this show. Bronies: The Musical tackled many of the issues “nerds” of any fandom go through and fearlessly presented themes such as bullying, acceptance and gender stereotypes. Although the show was a little slow and nervous at the beginning, when the plot really got going I was captivated and invested in each character’s development and struggles. The writing was fantastic and littered with laughs, most that catered to the entire audience and a slight few geared towards Bronies in particular.

The acting was phenomenal. The entire cast was very truthful and honest, and the actors had a great energy and chemistry between one another. The three leads (Tyler, Austin and Jacob) were especially powerful and showed a great range of emotion.

I would definitely see this show again – fantastically done!
