Review by RODNESHA GREEN

What I liked

Marcelina Chavira’s bright optimism pairs perfectly with J Elijah Cho’s brooding intensity. They make this musical comedy a harmonious romp! The pacing was great, as was the direction; they really, really used this space well. I was so impressed by all the elements they brought into the storytelling, from lighting to livestreaming.

What I didn't like

Some AC in the loft would be nice, but after a certain point in the show, I forgot about it.

My overall impression

Something about the intimate setting of this lofted theater heightened both the intensity and levity of this murder-podcast musical. Now there’s 3 words I never thought would work together, but they do – brilliantly! This show is witty, it’s campy, it draws you in and holds you captive til the very last beat. Lovely surprises and dark humor abound in equal measure throughout this show, and I loved every minute!
