What I liked

Loved the characters, the story, the songs, the choreography…basically everything.

What I didn't like

It would have been cool to have a theater nerd among the nerds.

My overall impression

The Bully Problem was a joy to watch. It had an intriguing premise, never lagged, tuneful melodies that were catchy yet inventive, a fantastic cast, and choreography to die for. A perfect musical for high school; it has a simple yet profound message but is fun enough for adults as well. What you may not know is that one rarely sees a musical of this caliber penned by a single person. Only two people in musical theater history have done that: Rupert Holmes and Lynn Manuel Miranda. Now there’s three!
