It's a fascinating story, but I missed more than half of the lyrics/dialogue. Music was too loud, diction wasn't sharp enough and I couldn't make out what they were saying or singing! There was one song that I heard extremely well which I loved (about the roses), but other than that, it's like I was in a foreign country watching something in another language I didn't speak. I just spent 2 and a half hours watching people jump around, listening to a wall of sound.
Funny and energetic, with a highly entertaining cast filled with quick changes galore
Super fun show to watch, you dont need to know history to enjoy it, the acting was incredible and we had an amazing time.
