Entertaining, Great Acting, Great Score, Great Singing, Loud

See it if killer rock score performed by fantastic vocalists in immersive club setting with simple but functional plot

Don't see it if Lyrics are hard to decipher in most rock songs; story and character development are not particularly deep Read more

Edgy, Great Music, Great Singing, Great Staging, Romantic

See it if want a show that's like seeing an indie rock concert in small venue, believe there should be more stories of queer women told

Don't see it if while set, acting, and singing performances are great, the story was quite thin and trite

Absorbing, Epic, Great Singing, Resonant, Romantic

See it if you want to see a touching rock 'n roll love story with two excellent principals who can rock out and bear their souls in equal measure.

Don't see it if your ears are tender (earplugs offered at the entrance to give you an idea of decibel level) or you're not into new music from the genre.

Fantastic Score, Great Singing, Great Staging, Must See, Riveting

See it if you want to see an incredible cast with genuine chemistry tell a simple-yet engaging story with a fantastic score + unreal vocals.

Don't see it if you’re looking for an incredibly in-depth story that you’ve never seen before; the story is simplistic and more of a path between songs. Read more
