  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
I love this musical. It's so emotionally raw, and the music is incredible and adds a lot of depth to the characters. The layering is beautiful, the characters are compelling, and I cried a bunch at the end. I will definitely be seeking this show out again.
