If this show were any longer, it would be a complete dud. And it’s a joy to see Rob Madge living their best life, after last year’s autobiographical coming-of-age show My Son’s A Queer But What Can You Do? explored their childhood dreams of singing on stage. Georgina Onuorah and Hiba Elchikhe lead the pack as diva-level powerhouses, moving through multiple octaves with syrupy ease. It also helps that everyone is insanely talented. With all that being said, ten minutes in, as bubbles start cascading from the ceiling and the cast, having failed to get the audience on their feet, carry on having the best time ever, their enthusiasm is absolutely contagious and you can’t help but find yourself rooting for them. The point of the show, if there is one, never really makes itself known, and there’s no narrative, or character progression to speak of. The closing Millennials reprise includes, “One millennial lives, while another one dies”, as though being born in the ‘80s were an incurable disease. One song, about a young woman who forgets her love for music (Someday), genuinely includes the lyric “She swears she heard her guitar say, ‘Ah there you are’”, again, delivered with absolute sincerity. The songs aren’t especially catchy, and some of the lyrics are bizarre. None of it seems especially ‘millennial’, barring the song titled, Millennials – “always trending, always spending” – which is also completely without any irony.Īll this wide-eyed enthusiasm recalibrates the noughties décor and over-egged millennial wardrobe – denim-on-denim-on-denim, pocket-chained combat trousers, crimped hair and chunky trainers galore – as a bunch of 30-year-olds living out their teenage fantasy aesthetics, rather than laughing at themselves and the millennial stereotypes.
A cast of six comes bounding on stage with Lizzie McGuire energy levels, singing their bloody hearts out about break-ups, self-esteem, childhood dreams revisited, and depression. The thing is, the avocado stickers are pretty much the first and last display of self-awareness, and everything after that is almost insistently earnest. It’s so ridiculously over the top, the audience is primed for a gloriously self-aware, kitch-tastic, irony-dripping song and dance. You’re then welcomed into a millennial thirteen-year old’s dream chill space, complete with pink foil curtains, neon lights, bean bags, blow-up chairs and a tiny trampoline built in to the middle of the stage.

The pleas did not work as the Warriors erased an 11-point halftime deficit in the third, outscoring the Rockets 33-15 and seizing a 7-point lead and the Warriors will finish the series +68 in the cumulative third quarters.Upon arriving at the ticket desk, an usher directs you to follow the trail of avocado stickers down the stairs, through to a room full of flotation noodles hanging from the ceiling for a sort of rebirthing experience.
