I was attracted to this because it was billed as a modern musical, with an impressive cast. Tsk. Some people are put off by the musical tag — well, don’t be. The characters occasionally sing along to some popular songs (and sometimes to ones you’ve never heard in your life), and sometimes do fun dance routines. This sits at odds with the gritty-ish melodrama of the plot, but that’s the fun. It’s worth a punt, but expect to dislike it.
