"...a quirky, original, and moving twist on the traditional hero’s journey. Exploring some surprisingly dark themes, but containing some hilarious moments, this highly original musical takes you to places you don’t expect. The giant dragon on stage (spoiler alert) is ingeniously executed, as are all the things you expect from a big musical—production numbers, catchy tunes, endearing characters, tender moments, and a triumphant climax. I see a dragon in your future!"
