dead john (rock 'n roll until we die)

Review by JORGE-LUIS PALLO

What I liked

The score was much catchier than I expected, and the cast had the vocals to pull it off. Sophia Rizzo and Brittany Hoza were standouts for me, and the entire cast committed completely to the world of the play. The death sequences were imaginative, funny, and some of the highlights of the evening.

What I didn't like

Honestly, my biggest thought had nothing to do with the show itself. It deserves a bigger stage. The production has enough energy and theatricality that it often felt like it was pushing against the limits of the space.

My overall impression

A fun, original rock musical that fully commits to its premise. The songs stuck with me long after the show ended, and the death scenes were some of the most creative moments of the production.
