So with the success of Dear Evan Hansen can we FINALLY bring this to Broadway?????

[@sydneyveloso450]

Benj actually has a killer voice

[@leahharder9049]

RIGHT!!!!! I didn't even know he could sing!

[@morganirbs2523]

This is literally my favourite musical and the music is so gorgeous and clever... so the fact that this is their first show they wrote??? They're GODSSS

[@shellster]

Oh man. If these young things could look into the future - they had SO much incredible success ahead of them, and more coming!

[@beautifulbobo]

Please, please, PLEASE write more musicals! This is one of my all time favorite soundtrack. I want more shows to be obsessed with z

[@jeeves251]

When I was a freshman in college I was struggling to learn the chords to songs like Ramble On, and these guys were already creating full length musicals. They are geniuses. Their music is amazingly beautiful. They deserve all of their success and the world needs them. Nice work guys.

I LOVED this show, devastated it didn't last longer. Cast album pleeeeeeeeez!

[@horaciomillan4181]

They are really very good. I saw the movie many years ago on tv but never knew the title and had forgotten it completely till now. I even forgot there was River Phoenix in it. Nice to remember all this.

[@morganirbs2523]

New proposition: Redo the entire musical but its just Justin and Benj

Some pretty strong JRB influences.

[@mryamahaxeno]

Very conversational, yet also very emotional.

[@logangreen6107]

I know right? There are so many parts of this musical where I can see where they got their inspiration from. I think they were also heavily inspired by Into the Woods.
