It starts off a bit slow but with so many characters invested in the story, it ramps up quickly. Really strong cast and great conversations about how people might react and perceive life changes when given one word. No spoiler alert, but the last word is very thought provoking. Great writers! Chris as always is such a wonderful, likeable person that is so gentle with his thoughts and words that I want to sit and have coffee with him. All the school students' different personalities and perspectives give the show a lot to work with in future episodes and I hope it keeps its momentum for more seasons.

The songs are Broadway quality and can't wait to download. And the dancing is spectacular- lots of energy. I think as the years go by and I watch it a few more times, it will just get better- there's a LOT going on the first time watching it. Great cinematography, a lot to digest in one movie. All of the actors are great in their roles- no time to slack in this one, and both stars did a great job dancing and singing, they looked great, but the dance ensemble was about as good as it gets in a movie or Broadway. The rehearsals must have been intense for this-and it shows! Look fwd to watching it next season.
