What I liked

The interweaving between comedy and drama was very well done. The moments of awkwardness were well played as well. Connecting the dots as act two went on was a lot of fun too. Really great job to everyone involved in this production.

What I didn't like

Truly can’t think of a thing.

My overall impression

What a fun show! The word that keeps coming to mind is ‘pleasant.’ I think it was such a clever idea to, not only flip the stage, but have the acts mirrored, which at first I found confusing but when it was revealed in the second act I was in love! Probably my favorite thing in the show was the dialogue from the rocket scientist character Murphy. I love when a show, especially a comedy, can find space to insert pockets of really intellectual and sometimes even profound dialogue. That character was played by Matt Clark, who was able to deliver with ease and conviction. Shout out to him, job well done. Just as much shout out to the entire cast, not a single person on that stage was anything less than a star!
