Heartfelt and Honest
While some of the dialog feels stilted, a bit like a school skit for Trans 201 (past 101, but still covering the basics), the music lifts up the show and makes it shine. The latter half starts to get into some more interesting and nuanced ideas, but mostly I was waiting for the scenes to be over to get to the next song. A good show to bring supportive but confused friends and family to.

Queer History and Joy
So I had to do a little research after the show to figure out just how much was originally from the 20s and how much was adjusted, because it feels very modern and timely while also being rooted in another time. Turns out quite a lot was revised to give the characters a fate that was more happy and less dead, which does track for my expectations of the 1920s, but I am still in awe that there even was a play about drag queens that portrayed gay men in a sympathetic light back then. Overall very compelling and something I would happily watch again!
