Numbers Nerds (NYMF)

See it if You want to support the cast and creative team, who I'm sure are lovely and mean well.

Don't see it if You don't want to see a production that looks like it's from a high school without a particularly strong drama program.

Also The music was forgettable, the lyrics are abysmal (if there were any actual rhymes, I missed them). The cast's voices aren't very good, and they're micced up so every moment of belting is deafening. The story is hackneyed. The show has practically nothing clever actually about numbers or nerds. Honestly, I'm astounded NYMF actually included this production, it seems well below their usual standard.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you don't like musicals set in high schools or that revolve around teenagers and their problems.

Don't see it if you find high school characters who are largely self-involved and sing relentlessly upbeat songs about their petty problems annoying.

See it if you like to let your nerd flag fly. Enjoy strong female characters. Sharon Sachs was wonderful as Ms. McGery. Enjoyed as an engineering grad

Don't see it if don't like to see teen characters in their angsty/awkward glory. You think girls cant do math.

Also The outfits for the characters were different than that featured in the picture and I feel they suit the characters better. The actresses are quite charming and the show definitely has a lot of potential. Itll be great to see where they take it,... Read more Read less

Also I didn't have the highest expectations for this one, but I loved it! It's my favorite 2017 NYMF production so far... tuneful, funny, current, and so much fun. All six characters had a great story arc, and the singing (especially from Maisie Rose as Meelissa) was astounding. It's geared for a teen or tween audience, but I had a great time. Some of the jokes didn't land, and it's a bit long for kid audiences, but overall it's a pure delight.... Read more Read less
