What I liked

The show embraced it’s own ridiculousness and just ran with it. The cast was all able to land a joke with great timing, and the crowd seemed to be having a great time along with the cast. The production of the show went smoothly and the direction was clear.

I’d not hesitate to see another show with these performers or this crew.

What I didn't like

For the most part the music seemed unnecessary. While a couple of the actors had singing voices that make me want to see them in a full musical, the songs just seemed to pause the show most times they happened without really adding much. Thankfully, despite this they were spread out enough through the show it didn’t really detract from my enjoyment.

My overall impression

I had a lot of fun. I wanted a night out with silly entertainment and that’s exactly what I got.
