First two episodes were simply hysterical. Snarky yet sweet, it's my favorite of the recent batch of Broadway-themed web series. (Especially that terribly unfunny audition show I can't remember the name.) And yes, I do think that the direction is notably strong and quite professional looking. You can tell they are taking careful care with the shooting and editing to create a special tone. I also like they've kept the number of characters and plot to a minimum, so we can focus more on their characters,
That said...episode three didn't quite meet the same standards they created. E3 was a bit too music-heavy, and I just hope that they take care not to become to involved in the time-wasting musical numbers, wacky situations and forced friend cameos that hurt The Battery's Down in their last season.
