The show was incredibly funny and well directed, however, the book was severely lacking in substance and depth and some lead actors lacked in vocal ability.
I went to this show as I was able to get a rush ticket, but didn’t know of anyone who had been to it so wasn’t sure what to expect. I went on my own and had such a good time! It was really funny, the actors were amazing and played so many roles. They sang their hearts out, all while keeping us entertained with their humour. The seats were great and you can see clearly from pretty much anywhere. The sound was a bit loud, so if you’re sensitive to that, bring your ear plugs. It’s actually one of the funniest shows I’ve been to. Loved it xoxox
Great action, catchy music, new perspective.on the evil seawitch. Funny
