What I liked

The cast was uniformly terrific, especially when they were all singing. Beautiful harmonies. The music was catchy and fitting. The book captured the excitement and anxiety of the con. It was staged perfectly, and made a small space feel big.

What I didn't like

Nothing comes to mind. It was a very well-construced and enjoyable show

My overall impression

Completely entertaining and energetic look at the people and culture of Comic Con. The show managed to be both a loving homage, and a clever send-up, while always feeling grounded in something organic. Delightful show!
