I'm sorry to be such a b*tch, but was anyone "good" in that show? Even the actors I've loved before, including Jay Armstrong Johnson and Alysha Umphress, didn't get to shine under bad writing and bad direction. I supposed JAJ did what he could and gave a strong performance considering, but I was honestly shocked at how even that cast couldn't bring this show to a higher level.

Yeah, I mostly agree with you. Pretty much a silly musical, more gross than funny. However, I did like the performance of Will Meyers as Malcolm. I think "Why I Like Football" is an excellent song and the one bright spot in the show for me.

Agreed!

Sad that the bright spot of the score is a song that could easily be cut and you'd lose nothing from telling the actual story or exploring the main themes of the show, if I remember correctly. (EX: You could easily cut The Miller's Son, but it's crucial to exploring that show's themes)
