“Unfortunately, the show tries to be very chipper and upbeat about some very serious subjects. These include domestic violence, extreme male chauvinism, and the outcome of marital infidelity. Since these serious subjects are a major part of the plot of this musical, it would have been much better if these serious social issues had been addressed more clearly and even forcefully. On the other hand, the music and dancing is very nice. The acting is good. The outstanding star of this show is Miss Sara Bareilles, who both wrote all of the music and lyrics, and is excellent in her acting role. She is truly to be commended.”
