    “ A clever idea for a musical, hilariously spun out with some pretty sharp political satire, jabs at contemporary society, internet and musical theater in-jokes, and a healthy tongue-in-cheek sense of itself and its darker edges. I imagine when staged it will be an audience pleaser, and a lot of fun to boot! ”
