    The 15 songs feel overloaded with glam-ragtime-Vaudeville rockers. Still, it’s hard not to cheer when This Is My Tree sees the long-suffering antihero returned to his natural habitat.

    Go To School, feels less like a night on Broadway and more like being dragged along to an amateur performance at your local village hall. It’s charming and full of heart, but you’ll be grimacing all the way through it.

While the D'addario brothers are extremely talented musicians their choice to make a broadway musical was not the right one. It was overly ambitious and isn't what we needed or wanted from them. What we needed was for them to expand on Do Hollywood and make kick ass rock songs. I know these kids grew up on broadway and were actors before they were musicians but that doesn't mean they need to bring broadway into their music. It's just not what I was looking for as a fan.
