Technically, BJ was superb, but the songs and book are dull as dishwater. Not memorable. All mugging.

I've seen it twice. Again, loved the tech and design of the show, but the much of the music just felt like teenage angsty yelling on-key.

I thought the teen angst was the good part of the score! It was the sloppy comedy songs that didn't work for me. I do wish songwriters realized that a joke in a song isn't funny if the rhyme isn't exact.

I did enjoy the show, sort of despite itself. Yes, the book is all mugging, but enough of it got me anyway.

And, to be fair, I'm a horror/Tim Burton nerd coming in.
