What I liked

I was amazed by how strong the talents were, especially when it came to the singing and choreography. Huge kudos to Nicholas Brandt and Jessica Gardner for creating this delightful world and fully realizing it. Despite it being a “workshop” production as it’s only in its first stages, the talent was undeniable in all areas, from the acting, singing, choreography, and directing. I wish to see this go forward from this year’s Fringe run and into bigger venues (like Comic Con itself)!

What I didn't like

Hm. This one is hard. I guess my only criticism is that I wish the cast’s diversity would greater reflect that of Comic Con itself but that’s a small nitpicky note as I am aware they need to have a cast who is excellent at singing and acting.

My overall impression

If you’ve ever gone to Comic Con and/or love musicals, this show is for you. Seriously, go watch it ASAP.
