My overall impression

I really try to like any show that I see, giving it the benefit of the doubt, but this musical was just awful. The songs are so bad, with the performers basically singing a string of badly written lyrics when they could have just have easily spoken them. Either way, the words would have been uninspiring. I’m really disappointed in the limited singing ability of the majority of the cast, all the guys especially, considering the performance is almost 90% singing. The incoherence of the script in general was disturbing as well. There were random songs thrown in that had nothing to do with any sort of plot or purpose. Donating to orphans? Autumn social? There has to be some connectivity between songs and scenes and this play didn’t even come close. Run away.
