My overall impression
I saw this show in their first preview last night; so some of the tech/cues/music were a little off and the audience was half full…
That being said, it was STILL a totally KICK ASS show! Which made it even more impressive. The entire cast is supremely talented at both acting and singing, including the writer, Mr. Michael Shaw Fisher. Laura Sperazza, in particular, fucking kills it! Nothing better than seeing someone commit fully with the chops to back it up. The fact that it was set up as a crudely thrown together musical parody made any deficits in the production easily forgivable, and I know that they’ll only get stronger in the coming nights.
There’s a bit of fat that can be cut (a couple songs and some dialogue here and there), and I wasn’t completely on board with the jilted lovers reuniting subplot, BUT I want to emphasize that this show is one of those you SHOULD NOT MISS! The script is funny and clever, the cast a delight, and the music cuntacular! Worth the price of admission and then some.
