Review by Cass Moreno★★★½Sample

Overhyped? Maybe. Did I still cry at “I was looking at the ceiling...Act I: No. 10 Your Honor my Client He's a Young Black Man”? Also maybe.

Review by lena★★★½Sample

the highs are high but it sags in the middle. still coming back for “I was looking at the ceiling...Act II: No. 19 Duet in the Middle of Terrible Duress” though.
