My overall impression

Musicals are not my thing, and unfortunately Rehab! The Musical did not change my opinion. The songs and performers were hit or miss, the staging and scene transitions were awkward, and the entire thing never really seemed to come together. Maybe it was the space itself that made this production so awkward, with cast members walking by the audience constantly. It could have also been that the songs were a mix of good, bad, and/or contrived. Perhaps it was that the most redeeming quality of this show was “Hot Nurse #2.” Still, the production seems rough and some of the choices were off, such as buying elaborate costumes but using plastic storage boxes for seats on stage. Rehab! The Musical has a lot of potential, but that potential was not realized in this production.
