Viewing Notes

Doesn’t quite stick the landing but certainly a fascinating attempt at a musical by To and Company. I love the set design the most being that it’s essentially an entire corporate office + hospital + apartment etc built as one giant structure on a sound stage. Good performances but the through line of the story is retread of every other office drama. More of a curiosity piece than anything else. But a pretty one at that.
