Review by JESSICA LYNN VERDI

What I liked

Strong ensemble. Clever songs. The chorus women were funny, subtle, and talented! Congrats to the men really sticking to their roles and allowing us to laugh at them. Amanda was great. A really good show all around!

What I didn't like

The house was sold out! Which is a great thing, but I think it made hard for some dialogue and lyrics to carry to the back of the house.

My overall impression

Man… I didn’t know watching real life stories from online dating could be so fun and enjoyable! Loved the clever use of familiar songs to tell the true tales of online dating mishaps. Knowing the music allowed the audience to enjoy the ride and be surprised with the clever ways lyrics were rewritten or re-purposed. The ensemble was wonderful, the examination of online dating was a little too real, but cleverly addressed, and I’d recommend anyone go to see this show if they’re looking for a good time…!
