What I liked

The choice to keep the harmonies relatively simple but nearly constant made every song a delight to listen to. Use of odd time signatures in upbeat songs staved off predictable patterns that could otherwise plague a musical of this style. Fantastic music to dialogue ratio.

What I didn't like

I think that the “semi-functional” plot point could have been more prominent in the plot.

My overall impression

A fantastical and unique twist in the classic bully vs. nerd dynamic. The music managed enough variety to be interesting while keeping a theme that tied the story together. I really enjoyed it.
