About
If you enjoy dark, campy musical comedy with a bit of horror and a lovable underdog vibe, this should hit the spot; Not for you if you dislike musicals or crass, scary humor like Little Otik.
Pros: catchy, memorable songs; big laughs and camp; standout plant effects | Cons: tone can feel uneven; some scenes too scary; not for all tastes
