What I liked

I thought all the music was great, but my favorite number was The Bully Conference. The lyrics, choreography, and physicality of the actors (some double cast as nerds) was laugh-out-loud hilarious. My second favorite was Off Balance probably because I am a romantic at heart.

Also, Jordan Mitchell-Love totally freaked me out (in a good way) when he came to robot life.

What I didn't like

I’d be interested to see more about Kevin’s home life. Maybe a little more dialogue between him and his mom; or maybe more background or mentioning of his father.

My overall impression

A fun, feel-good show full of jokes for a wide audience. Family friendly and sure to put a smile on your face, Joanna Syiek and her talented cast do a great job bringing Michael Gordon Shapiro’s musical story about empowerment to life.
