What I liked
The catchy songs that made me tap my foot, fun choreography (especially the scuba diver), and vivid 80s arcades come to life with smart, playful set pieces. The cast chemistry is gold, especially the dynamic between the leads and the comedic duo, keeping energy high from start to finish!
What I didn't like
If there’s a flaw, it’s wanting more of the quieter, emotional beats—like glimpses into the heroine’s backstory. But honestly, that craving just highlights how invested I was. The cast’s harmonies and character moments left me wishing I could see it again.
My overall impression
This is a polished, heartwarming, and Broadway-ready…it could be on Broadway right now. It’s smart, campy 80s nostalgia with real emotional pull. The cast is stellar, the staging is clean, and the songs hit like power anthems. This show could easily jump to Broadway tomorrow and be a hit. It’s the kind of musical that grabs you—and never lets go.
