Trevor the Musical debuted at Writers Theater in Chicago this week. The first review is positive but a dismissive of the score.

The film derived most of it's humor from the fact that the stereotypical theater kid doesn't realize he's gay. It adds a jolt of seriousness at the end which inspired the Trevor Project. I worry the story may be too slight for a full length musical but realize there an audience that needs it. 

Is anyone on the board planning to see this?
