What I liked

Plenty of great jokes, fun musical numbers, and an outrageously talented cast. I love that you don’t have to be a super fan of Jane Austen or Frankenstein to get the jokes. For instance, I know very little about Jane Austen or her work and I don’t feel like I missed any of the references.

What I didn't like

Backing tracks for the musical numbers are fine, but a live band would be even better!

My overall impression

This show was so much fun! It’s charming, fast-paced, and SO funny! The musical numbers are great, and the cast is absolutely stellar. Don’t miss this one!
