See it if you want to see anything dealing with contemporary youth, and you don't expect much; or you are a friend or relative of someone in the show.

Also I am sorry to write this review, because I think this show has good intentions behind it and some talented young people in the cast. But someone posted a score of 100 for this show (later removed), and I felt the need to save others from mistaking that for an indicator of quality,

The initial idea behind the show -- expressed nicely in the opening number -- is that young people (in particular, young women) today are filled with fear, much of it justified, about climate change, gun violence, male aggression, and many other things. This is a good premise for a show, but unfortunately, there is not much message beyond that other than that you should find the spirit inside you.

Youth are our future, but they need more guidance than this show can provide. Some of the music is decent, but I found the lyrics repetitive, and the show has no story to speak of. With some work on the book, it could be moderately interesting, but going beyond that would require a major rewrite of everything.... Read more Read less
