MINI REVIEW
The Tony Award-winning musical about a socially awkward teen (Robert Markus) who becomes a hero after a tragedy is pure young adult fantasy, and its got a disturbingly cynical centre. But the production, performances and songs are appealing, and, at its core is a deeply moving story about a single mothers unconditional love for her sensitive son.
