Dave
Great production
I think this is the first musical ive been to knowing nothing of the story so it was an interesting experience going in cold. I went with my 28 year old daughter. I was really surprised at how well the story worked. I was worried at the start because It looks very much like it was going to be another Heather's/mean girls (which are both great in themselves). The plot quickly departed off onto its own path. It was relatively light on extreme emotionality which I appreciated after my last over traumatic evening at dear evan... the play dipped into pain a little but kept most of the content light and fun. The actors performed flawlessly and the younger versions really held thier own amongst the older ones so all in all a great night out. The set was also designed well and worked really well with the lighting. It is something I could see myself going back to. Well done to all involved. ... Read more
