Title: Catchy tunes, high energy, keeps you singing along
Review: While not as well written as earlier musicals with high school settings such as "Grease", or even earlier, "Bye, Bye Birdie", the upbeat, bouncy arrangements will definitely stay with you and you'll find yourself taking out the additional karaoke disk to try your hand at crooning along. The theme of following your dreams instead of following the crowd is particularly relevant. "Breaking Free" is especially good and does really soar. "Getcha Head in the Game" is a great precursor to any sports game or exercise routine. This would probably be most popular with preteen or high school girls or lovers of musicals. I have to admit I can't stop singing the songs, they definitely grow on you. this from a Stephen Sondheim lover.
