"a refreshing and fun stage adaptation of the iconic 1988 black comedy film that follows a teenage misfit who discovers there are more challenges than she bargained for when she finds herself a member of the most powerful clique in school. With music, lyrics, and book by Laurence O'Keefe and Kevin Murphy, the musical retains the dark satire and biting humor of the original movie while adding a substantial dose of tenderness and depth, particularly through its pop-rock score and engaging characters. Mesa Encore Theatre's production features a great cast, crisp direction, and impressive technical aspects....MET's cast excels. Mohika Gauani captures the multifaceted nature of Veronica's character, from her initial desire to fit in to her evolving sense of self-awareness and morality once she realizes that being popular isn't all it's cracked up to be. Gauani's powerful vocals add depth and emotion to her character. Griffin Slivka's portrayal of J.D. is both intriguing and, appropriately, unsettling, and he and Gauani have a strong bond that makes the relationship between their characters realistic." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
