Lot of non musical fans writing reviews, so I'm writing one from a musical fan perspective. I am OBSESSED WITH THIS SEASON OPENING! The singing from the cast is beautiful, the choreography is nostalgic and uplifting, all the musical numbers filled me with joy and love. Honestly wish it was social acceptable to burst into song irl. This episode captures so much of what I love about musicals. Simply wonderful. Also, love the time jumps and how it seems to be hinting that Sam goes on to write the show we are watching, similar to how the narrator was writing volumes that we were listening to. META. Love it. The interviews Sam went through for the career fair was relatable and an excellent portrayal of the heartbreaking reality any advocate for change has felt: It's so easy to feel that the world is progressing and listening, learning when you make strides within your circles, then when you go out into the world, it feels like nothing has changed at all, there is just so much more work to be done; A truly exhausting and daunting sentiment.
Fantastic writing, funny, charming, and deeply meaningful as always.
