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. |
