I picked up this book because i am a huge theater geek and i was excited to be reading a book about theater and show. The beginning was good and i was hopeful that it was gonna be a great read but as i kept reading i started to not like it.
I didn't like how the characters in the book talked done at some of the musicals like Cats and Jekyll and Hyde. It made me feel defensive because those musicals are good. I understand that everyone doesn't like the same musicals; we all have different taste but i try not to talk bad about any musicals. There is usually at least one good song i can find in any musical. So with the characters talking bad about musicals i just couldn't shake the feeling these kids weren't really theater geeks. I mean this dint like Cats and Shakespeare but they were impressed with Annie. Not saying Annie is a bad show but in terms of classics Cats certainly beats Annie.
Also i would have liked if the author would have picked lesser know show in her book. I mean i love Little Shop of Horrors and i don't mind the other shows in the book but it would have been nice to pick less know show or maybe to show a wider range of musicals because there are so many different musicals to pick from each with its own unique sound ans story.
The theater is such a diverse place to be and i did enjoy the fact that it simply was a book about theater even though to my standers it did not fully satisfy what the theater really is.
