· Why don’t I leave this show knowing more about Studio 54 than when I walked in?
· Why do they need to pile not one, not two but three movie of the week issues onto the main female character? She’s a cutter, a drug addict and has an incest rape baby. Could they think of no other way to make a woman interesting?
· Why is a black hat with a brim considered punk?
· Why does half (and only half ) of the spoken dialogue rhyme?
· Why, out of allllllll the spots in 1980 New York City that might have been a punk chick’s favorite spot (and my god the choices they could have made!), did they choose THE MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY?
· Why does the main male character need to inherit money from his father in order to buy a pink suit? Why can’t he just make or find or be given or create the pink suit that gets him noticed and discovered? This might actually give him some agency and make him a more interesting character.
· Why, when asked to sing by the artist, does the punk chick do spoken word poetry?
· Why is a punk girl doing spoken word poetry?
· Why does her spoken word poetry make the artist think she could be a great pop singer?
· Why do they call her punk at all? There is absolutely nothing punk about her character. Does anyone working on this show know what punk is? Especially what it was in the 70s and 80s?
· Why, out of the two main characters, does the Andy Warhol type artist choose to mentor the pop singing girl to promote over the young, pretty gay boy?
· Why does Binky, who clearly wants to be traditionally famous, choose to mentor the young pretty gay boy over the pop singing girl?
· Why does a featured character announce they are trans in a 2 minute scene then never address any aspect of it again?
· Why does a neon sign shorting out and saying FAKE instead of RAKE cause the main character to run out of the room in shame and return to tricking? If this incident is such big news, why doesn’t it make him even more famous?
· Why is there a song whose lyrics are 90% “we make it up as we go along”? And how in the world did the man who wrote Wig in Box, Wicked Little Town and Midnight Radio produce this dreck?
· Why does an ensemble actor get a full solo number in the last 30 minutes of the show?
· Why did the writers feel compelled to insert themselves into the show in a protracted scene that in no way furthers the story and is literally a bunch of sound and fury signifying nothing?
