Delightful. I went in not knowing what the plots of the mini-musicals were and I would suggest the same thing. It will make it all that much more fun.

Overall, performances are broad and loud, sometimes hilariously so, but for the random actor who over-reaches for the comedy or forces the vocals. Director Julia Plostnieks hits all the right notes with her staging and Lindsay Braverman’s choreography is full of spunk. Theatre Unleashed brings a h...
