I was actually quite sad when this wasn’t nominated for Best Musical. :( Too much poppy stuff got nominated.

i can’t believe how many people are like “the music sucksss so dumb”. Like, really? You don’t get it at all. It’s written that way on purpose, fools :P

@Cypresswhisker2 I did not even get that until you mentioned it to me. I just thought it was good music and I am 22!

@cshore7 I’m glad I’m not the only other obsessed Populist out there! This show was absolutely fantastic. I enjoyed every aspect of it. Considering my two career aspirations are actress (fantasy) and American history teacher (reality), this was a perfect show for me! I’m desperately trying to find the sheet music!

@ZazuKnowsBest
Me, too … on all counts! My only comfort is knowing someone else out there has probably hit this “play” button as many times as I have. It was extraordinary, wasn’t it? Damn.

I’ve watched this video way too many times. Even though I was lucky enough to see it on Broadway, I still can’t get enough! So sad it closed :’(

@BwayBoundChristian Parodies have better music.

It got great reviews by critics. I know some people who went to see it and loved and went back to see it. I sadly personally know nothing about. I don’t know. But it is closing on Jan. 2nd. :(

@carriewhite410 Is this supposed to be a parody? I hope so.
