About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a breezy, campy comedy with show tunes, friendship, and fish-out-of-water disguises, with a vibe some compare to Kinky Boots; Not for you if you dislike musicals or broad, sometimes stereotyped humor.
Pros: big laughs; feel-good energy; catchy show tunes | Cons: predictable story beats; stereotypes feel dated; drag theme not for kids
