It's not previewing right now. It closed after press night! Ticket sales and reviews were pretty poor so they shuttered after the opening performance on Broadway to claim on insurance.

The music's alright, in my opinion, but it's all very "sophomoronic"; it's a musical written by and aimed at people in their early 20s and the lyrics are as clunky as you might expect. It doesn't stand up well to multiple listens, essentially.

I managed to catch this show while still in previews, and have to confess I quite enjoyed it! The cast and creative team appear to be an extremely talented bunch of young men but the show wasn't given much promotion or much of a chance. I'm just sorry it was rushed to Broadway; I think it would have run a lot longer if it played off-Broadway.
