Cute, charming, but also takes a depressing story and turns it into something endearing and uplifting. Fun music, strong performances, and just a wonderful throwback to old school musicals.... full review

Let's Write a Musical is a powerful rollercoaster of love, and it will leave you wanting to ride again!
