Co-directors Erik Ramirez and Brooke Aliceon have brought this musical to the stage with grace and beauty while still maintaining the edgy-rock vibe this show needs. The show discusses powerful and sensitive topics that are handled carefully in the show, yet leave the audience with powerful questions to think about. Brooke Aliceon also choreographed the show masterfully and mixes lyrical movement with a rock and roll edge to paint the story being told.
