" Quick backstory: Creator Ben Decter assuaged his angst over his daughter's critical epilepsy by turning to his art of songwriting. Serendipity led him to director and co-writer Kristin Hanggi, and they wrote the hit that we saw last night. The "musical within a musical" captivated us all as young Jackson, played by Charlie Stover, was in complete control from the opening announcements to bows. Set in the Hoffman home and Marshall High School the story follows Jackson's purloining his dad's secret music about the family struggle with daughter, Lucy's, frightening neuro-spasms. C.J. Eldred and Jenna Pastuszek were upbeat 2024 parents to Faith Graham's Lucy and Stover's Jackson, dealing with all the usual family issues centered around their daughter's abnormality. A showstopper (and there were many,) "Just for Tonight," had father-son and mother-daughter singing cross-stage duets that je**ed more than a few tears around the room."
