Get over it

Why a musical? Because the creators are music/musical fans, have a previous show that was a musical, interjected musical numbers in other scenes of their shows and some of their cast are Broadway actors. There are worse things than a musical numbers in a show.

The musical number was great as was their voices. One little musical number here and there in shows isn't the end of the world and I'm always down for listening to talented people sing and see a well produced musical number.

A correction.

"There are worse things than a musical number"-?? Excuse moi? I'm a former theatre kid, and I'm here to tell you dramatically that the musicality here is a GIFT- an artful, clever, paradigm-shifting look into depression, and the glorious apotheosis of the whole show. When the kids sat cross-legged on a cold floor reading scripts, or practiced elocution exercises, or grew to know and appreciate each other more deeply and realistically through song (!!!), memories came flooding back to me like a warm hug around my hippocampus. I felt personally SEEN. The performances warmed my bones, and now my heart is full of love and melodies and reminiscence. I'm further comforted by the knowledge that other former theatre kids feel it, too. THANK YOU!

Why the musical? Seriously, why?! Haven't they learned from other series' ratings that a vast majority of us do not like this? If I wanted to see a musical I would watch mama mia. This episode is awful, do yourself a favor and skip this one. The rest is all good.
