RomCon in a Musical!! Fun easy listen.

STRONGLY recommend for an unique experience with solid storylines and diverse beautiful singing and speaking voices. Be aware there are 6 separate mini-episodes which can be listened to individually. Music was upbeat and banter was clever. It was easy to discern each character. While I don't feel qualified to speak on music production, I found the individual songs to be varied in lyrics and rhythm. The vocal ranges were used although the tempo was, maybe, predictable. It was apparent a great deal of talent went into writing the music and the performances were of highest quality in both voice and music production. My fav was Ep 2. The narrator, or was it the train conductor, was also terrific. There were no weak performances in this series althou, as I reviewed in Ep 6, at least one voice overpowered their partner's at the start of a duo in that episode. Made me wonder if they were recorded separately. I can't fathom how much effort went into this production!

Im not sure why this series has not been reviewed more! Audible needs to promote this series better. My only complaint was that the authors felt the need to incorporate all the "hot topics" of the day with disabled and same sex relationships represented in 50% of the episodes. I suppose the next chapter (if written) will be trans. The speaking British accent was a bit heavy at times for this American to understand at times.

I really enjoyed the diversity of the characters

It is an unfamiliar setting, as I am AMerican and haven't traveled to the UK yet, but it was certainly familiar enough to follow. I liked some of the music - only the Taxi song I remember. It uses comedy, I really appreciate the diversity of the characters, in particular the woman with cerebral palsy- these are the voices that don't often show up on stages. It's a good use to explore this as a future format, and the foley artists are very well done, so it's easy to imagine the scenes, the traveling scenario. I think it works well.

Fun & romantic with catchy tunes - but listen through speakers

. . . or headphones, just not your device on speaker. I tried, and the layered sounds stacked upon each other and I couldn’t separate the dialogue. But using headphones or the car speakers, you can enjoy the experience of lovely beginnings with a flavor of London.

Perfect Prescription after a Weighty Read

Such a surprise to find an actual musical on Audible. I just finished a long and weighty read- 56 hours rife with philosophy! So, when I saw this, I thought it would be a simple entertainment of relief. But it was so much more: great performances, engaging, fun storyline and really fantastic songs! I can imagine that this might be one to listen to more than once. It's a real pick-me-up!

So cute!

Super heart-warming stories and I loved how they were all connected. Def a little cheesy but I’m a sucker for love stories
