“Choreography embellishes the parodic fun and pays homage to iconic Broadway”

“Julie Tomaino’s choreography both embellishes the parodic fun and pays homage to iconic Broadway numbers. For example, with its intense finger-snapping and eventual explosion of energy, ‘Snuff That Girl’ tips its hat to Jerome Robbins’s ‘Cool’ choreography from West Side Story. Various other choreographic moments, such as the Charleston-like ‘We’re Not Sorry’, and the gospel-inspired ‘Run, Freedom, Run!’ and ‘I See a River’—in which a fan is used as a wind machine—also add hugely to the fun.”
