What: Now. Here. This.
Where: Available at Broadway on Demand
Mom's view: Now. Here. This. is a musical by the creators of [Title of Show]. The show was originally a four person show which explores many aspects of life through a series of songs and dialogue. An expanded version of the show was created so that the show can easily be performed by groups of different sizes and diverse makeups. This version offers lot of flexibility with regard to the number of cast members as well as fluidity with regard to who can play each role in the show. The first production of this new version of the show was scheduled to be produced at the Orange County School of the Arts (OCSOA). However, when everything shutdown the entire production was moved online and produced virtually. The students do a terrific job with the show. Although the show is largely autobiographical and much, if not, all of it, came out of the lives of the creators, the students are so believable in their roles that viewing the show will make you think they wrote it about themselves. That is partly due to universality of the topics covered in the show and partly due to the commitment of the students in their roles. At times, however the show can be a little hard to follow because there is no real storyline or named characters and it jumps around from one thing to another. The songs are nice at least as sung by the beautiful voices of the OCSOA students, however, not particularly memorable. All in all, the show is most worth seeing for the wonderful performances of the students.
