This has got lots of charm and I really enjoyed seeing it. It's also a huge achievement to have put on such a complex and challenging play. And what a great set! There is some good acting, wonderful timing of all those entrances and exits, and the falling-down-the-stairs stunt was breathtaking. I didn't know the play till I saw this and I found it not easy to get into. I didn't understand half of the backstage shenanigans in Act 2. I think some of the audience may have had similar problems, as they didn't seem to laugh quite as much as they might have. I had to consult Wikipedia to learn more about the plot. There were some sound issues, which didn't help. I'm English, so understanding a comedy set in England should not really have been a problem. (I even have a house with an airing cupboard!) The cast made a good shot at the accents, but the results were bizarre at times!
My son, James Bellavia, plays the director. He is currently in the US Army but plans to go into musical theater afterwards. It was such a fabulous show! Loved all of those students and their performance.
Yes, GREAT SET!

At 1:23:48 where does the housekeeper get the cactus from?
Something about live performances of this show make it 10x better. The movie doesn’t nearly do it justice
Who’s idea was it to have HS students speak in goad awful accents? Great camera work!
Tim has the best accent.
Nice go at a difficult play. How, How, HOW did they manage to make it into such a terrible movie?
At 1:23:46 where did the housekeeper get the cactus from?
Technically the cactus is because the flower shop that Tim kept going to ran out of flowers. It’s a little hard to keep up with
