This was an enjoyable ride that hits you in all the right places. I laughed, I got choked up a bit and multiple times I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was coming next.
Matt Steele showcases a brave performance as the nervous, emotional teen trying his best to shine the brightest in his high school play. A wonderfully balanced performance bringing to life a clearly unbalanced character.
The supporting cast is wonderful as well featuring a stand out effort by Jayson Bernard who delivers a heartfelt performance as the overzealous failed actor turned teacher/director that tries to vicariously live through the main character and turn him into the star he himself never became.
The music, production design, wardrobe hair and make up are all very well done. A lot of work clearly went into this production and it shows.
The writing, direction and pace are spot on.
I highly recommend this family friendly comedy that's safe for the kids but also a movie adults will enjoy.

Charming and full of charisma
Not at all what you expect...in a GREAT way!
A comedy about a bunch of LGBT characters performing a school musical... This type of thing could easily become a cliche, but this movie goes exactly where you're not expecting! There's no angsty gay romance, no melodramatic coming out story, and no musical numbers! This movie treats LGBT characters as if they deserve to be more than just devices for plots centering on oppression and identity. And it's not just some sassy version of High School Musical or (insert teen musical with a basic story disguised behind flashy musical numbers). It's actually incredibly inventive that a movie about a musical isn't even a musical at all. I guess I've focused a lot on what this movie is not. But what is it? Hilarious! Like side-splittingly funny! And it's touching. You will laugh and cry and then laugh again. It's fresh. It's diverse. It's pure fun with a lot of heart. It's also very low budget, which only adds to the charm. This movie has the makings of a cult classic. I really, really hope to see more from this creative team.
The characters are the charm
