“On the other hand, the book aches for a more experienced writer or dramaturg to streamline the muddled and somewhat nonsensical storyline.”

“Ultimately, KILLING MUSICALS is more dishy than it is cynical; a date with the ladies and happy endings for all.”

“Millennials tries to paint the internet as a dangerous, socially isolating place — but the show is a thematic sprawl that, despite moments of humor and interest, is sporadically rendered and difficult to follow.”

“What I ended up getting was a hodgepodge of a musical that’s not without its plusses but is nothing at all like what its title would suggest or anything close to the caliber show I was hoping to see.”
