The Disney and Top Hit parodies were well written and performed.
What I didn't like
None
My overall impression
Quirky, campy, a fun musical parody of Kumon in which ALL Asians can relate to of being pressured to being the A+ student or just wanting grades above C-. Generational trauma displayed in a whimsical way as well as showcasing modern day progress of addressing the situation of wanting to be an Asian kid without the pressure of getting A+ and just doing their best.
Todd and iStage company and actors did a splendid job!!
The leading lady who is not only adorable but full of charisma, energy, spunk and sass captivated the audience with every expression, and comedic beats from start to finish. She’s one to watch, a future actress who has great vocals as she sang a parody of Billie Ellish’s What Was I Made For.
The entire cast brought their own individual personalities and quirks that are so relatable of being a young Asian kid aiming for the A+ !
