COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Way Better Than the Film Adaptation Would Have You Believe submitted by Meginator on August 11, 2021, 4:58pm This musical has its tongue firmly planted in its cheek, yet its themes of self-acceptance come through strongly; for all of its humor, its intentions are always unmistakably clear, if a bit on the nose. The composers draw on a lot of traditional Broadway tropes and have fun with them, which works especially well for the plot-within-a-plot and keeps the focus on the show itself. This is the kind of feelgood queer story we seldom see in mainstream media, with enough complexity and character depth to elevate it beyond the clichés it employs.
