What I liked

Amazing ensemble work! I loved the Urchins from the future, The Lawyer, The Rev, and OMG! TAYLOR SWIFT showed up!! I loved that there was a way to take environmental action right outside when we left. Incredible performances.

What I didn't like

Some moments could have been a little tighter. I think I left feeling more doomed than hopeful, but perhaps that’s the point.

My overall impression

A concert starring a late-stage Judy version of planet earth. This is a mobilizing piece that is written to spur the audience into action, much like the pro-unionizing theatre of yesteryear. I laughed a lot, but also felt sad and doom in my tummy. This musical really puts you through the wringer.
