What I didn't like

My overall impression

This is the show you might not know that you need to see because you look at the title and go… “Divorce, a hip hop musical?” Don’t miss this! The show is about a pair of 9 year olds who get “divorced” and that premise alone is hilarious and endearing and enables the production team to go into some actually very poignant territory without having to turn this hilarious musical into a drama- I love a good drama but this is 100 percent comedy from start to finish.. I saw “campy” in the tag last and I disagree with that (not that campy is a negative term)… the show knows just how seriously to take itself – its smart, well delivered, clever, and mostly very self aware.

also, I’m obsessed with the convention used to bring in the “children”- so creative.

Strong ensemble cast – well written and directed and the beat boxer is a rockstar and should be commended for his flawless performance.
