Funny, Great writing, Original, Entertaining

See it if you want a purely fun musical, featuring adults playing "nerdy" high schoolers. The songs are full of great puns. Overall a good time.

Don't see it if you don't like nasal-y voices, a bunch of the cast has them. you don't want to hear people spelling.
