See it if You enjoy good-quality singing and enthusiastic performances. The actors did what they could with the material and their talent shone.

Don't see it if You want any kind of meaningful character or thematic development or distinguishing songs.

Critic Reviews (3)

"With 'Are You As Nervous As I Am?,' I truly believe there is a great show in there. A great cast and some stunning songs still make this a wonderful couple of hours if not completely unproblematic."

"It has enough likability and musicality to balance out a rather clunky execution and a reliance on some familiar tropes."
