  • Seriously, it's plays like this where I wish I were a boy.

  • love the boys on this.

  • this is close to sets,on broadway. if is comparison stage to stage.

  • I was going to say it be really cool if those walls were scrim and then you could.. and then they did it at the end.. PERFECT! :)

  • Best ever I seen wow

  • Great set! And the production of the song is really well done.

  • Nooo. Like- you can tell if they're making fun of the original soundtrack or if it's them....it's them. I've done this show 2x and seen it on broadway. Seriously- wow. Only + for this show would be the set.

  • @68lincoln Well, to be quite honest, the movie is nothing like the actual play. They changed everything a lot. So it's kind of apples-to-oranges, isn't it? You can't base your opinion of something based on something completely different. And you're supposed to sing like that in telephone hour.
