Hahah dang who hurt you???? I saw it last night and I’ll say this, the performers are fantastic (minus one or two) and they are making a really bad book work. Obviously the story lines are not fleshed out but there is still some trajectory. For Sara to call it community theater is just in poor taste on her end. She loves to hate. Even the comments on her reviews call her out for that.

The songs and choreography are great (minus some silly lyrics). It’s very classic Broadway. And even the more contemporary music really hits. Set design is questionable but costumes and props are first rate. Lighting is fantastic.

The biggest issue with the show is the direction. That’s why it’s unspecific. Although you can feel the actors trying to fight it. They do a wonderful job. For you to say the cast and designers should be embarrassed is just embarrassing for YOU to say. don’t be hateful just to be hateful.

All in all I actually had a great time. So judge me if you will but it seemed everyone there had a great time as well.
