My favorite musical of all time.
I can’t believe how well this held up for me. I genuinely think I love it more.

One of my absolute favorite musicals, with poetic lyrics and deep and complicated characters. And the music is absolutely fantastic, centered around Stew and his band. Everything is amazing and I cannot recommend this enough.
