While I do appreciate the liberties some directors take in exploring classics with alternative/parallel universes and the whole "what if?" scenario, sometimes a classic is best left a classic.
This play is a painfully tender and realistic story that has refreshing grit to it and is fearless in its exploration of abject depression, body image as it relates to emotions, familial estrangements, religion, and death.
From its gravity-defying acrobatics and smooth dance numbers to its lovable characters and toe-tapping music and lyrics, this show made me squeal like a 12-year-old girl at cheer camp!
