This really has potential to be awesomely fun but obviously there is a lot of uncertainty. It could be horrendous. That being said, they cast the show really well. Brian has been fab in everything I've seen him in and he sings awesome. Sieber is amazingly funny and Daniel was brilliant in Passing Strange. Also, <3 for Haven
