Does Not Compute is a musical that is both timely and terrifying. When a couple brings a pair of robots in to do their work for them, the robots eventually start taking over. However, while the premise is interesting, the show is underwhelming. Beyond the basic premise, the plot is thin, and the songs are not memorable nor even that exciting to listen to in the first place.
The performances, particularly those of the actors portraying the main robots, Brooke DeRosa and Phil Meyer, were excellent, however. They were extremely and at times frighteningly believable and definitely the highlight of the show.
