[Keith Moser · Rating 3 out of 5]

Goodreads doesn't seem to have the Libretto Vocal Book so this is the best I can do... Wish I could have seen Sutton Foster in this on Broadway. Really clever with its allusions to other songs and shows, although the trite musical happy ending is a bit hard to swallow (especially since it leaves some plot holes in the beginning)

It's going to be a BLAST to be in! (even if there seem to be waaaay to many dance breaks)

Lively 20's rhythms, memorable melodies, and a lighthearted soap-opera type plot shortened into a Junior version for young actors all combined for a really fun middle school musical.

I was one of the Chinese brothers, Bun Foo. Enjoyed the singing and all the performing. Great fun especially learning everything in "Chinese."
