This play is already a holdover, so it should come as no surprise that it’s pretty damn good. I was expecting a little more levity out of the play from the description in the guide, but I wasn’t disappointed with the somewhat more melancholy experience I got at all. The songs and dance moves were all expertly performed, the frame story was interesting if a little light and obvious, and the climax poignant.

I only knock it down a little bit because not every story held me enthralled. A couple of them had my interest fading, and one of them I don’t remember anything at all from. I also can’t say that the parts I really enjoyed were as good as those from Shorts, which I gave 5 stars in spite of one part of it not holding my interest.

One really random thing that stood out for me, though, that is completely irrelevant to the review, is that one of the actors was wearing Vibram Five Fingers. Which is awesome, because they are awesome, and I never would have expected to see someone on stage wearing them. That was win.
