Clever, Entertaining, Ambitious

See it if You're so into musical theatre that you can appreciate someone calling a pitcher of water "Elaine Stritch's ball sweat" or Kevin Kline god.

Don't see it if You wouldn't appreciate a revenge fantasy one-man-show about a repressed gay high school theatre geek

Entertaining, Funny, Ambitious, Indulgent, Campy and bitchy

See it if you want to see a very talented young performer who goes over the top on a subject he loves-Musical Theater. The ending needs work, though.

Absorbing, Enchanting, Entertaining, Funny, Great singing

See it if You would like to see one-person shows or musicals. Want to have a night of fun.

Don't see it if You'd rather enjoy serious contents. The plot is a little bit confusing when it comes to one man playing different characters.

Cliched, Well performed, Well staged, Clever, Campy

See it if you were a HS theater arts junkie. The hell-setting is clever, the acting/singing is strong, but the story feels worn. Stereotypes abound.

Don't see it if you dislike shows about theater. Lots of inside jokes. No real lesson imparted. Still, SPM is a joy to watch. A fun, light outing. Read more

Cliched, Indulgent, Quirky
