The design is inspired and allows the playing space to veer from whimsical to precarious as needed.
Many of the performances feel one-note.
The material seemingly leaves space for it, but Espinosa doesnt dig deep enough.

Von Essens voice is stellar, but his Marvin is bland.
Jacobs nearly runs away with the whole show as young son Jason.
His Whizzer is at turns cocksure, wry, bitchy, kind, and devastating.

The powerful and romantic exchange on Marvin and Whizzers final number, What Would I Do?
Its almost enough to undo some of the duller, more uninspired moments.
