What I liked

Used the space interestingly, with funny costume changes while the dialogue was still going on and projected comic-style drawings to show the passing of time. There were good fight scenes, with choreography that was definitely designed by someone who knows what they’re doing.

What I didn't like

The sound system was a bit wonky at the beginning. Not sure if I can fault the show for that, though. A couple missed dialogue cues, but they recovered well.

My overall impression

Charming, funny, and made use of the space with fun special effects, costumes, and action. Really felt like I was watching a comic book unfolding on stage.
