Absorbing, Great Acting, Great Singing, Great Writing, Intense

See it if AMAZING ACTORS!!! The singing and acting was a 10/10 it was perfection.

Don't see it if It is a very intense show about intense and distressing topics so bare that in mind. Do not see if you are sensitive if you do be careful.
