I'm delighted to see so many glowing reviews of this show. A lot of the focus is on Rachel Bloom, and for good reason. Aside from her great singing, acting, and dancing, she's a real risk taker-not afraid to let the audience see her ugly, crazy side.
The entire cast is musically talented, but Donna Lynne Chamblin in particular blew me away with her beautiful, powerful voice.
Folks who don't enjoy musicals might not dig this, but it's a shame, because the songs are incredibly funny. The humor goes by at lightning speed sometimes; I wish the lyrics were available. If you DO like musicals, you're gonna love the parody of "Pool" from "The Music Man." Likewise a parody of a song from "Chicago." Very smart song writing, indeed.
A very quick joke about Cornell University almost made me spit coffee on my screen. I won't tell you the joke-don't want to spoil it.
