MEMBERS SAY:
See it if you want an intelligent, entertaining show with incredible music, discussing serious topics, but in a way that can open dialogue.
Don't see it if you have a tough time hearing about suicide or eating disorders.
See it if Youre seeking new theatre that features an outstanding young actress in Wilson. The topic is timely and balance of light and dark is great.
Don't see it if Youre not prepared to spend time trying to track the story or the chronology. Confusing at times, but worth the time it takes to dissect.
