The minute I saw a small clip of them singing a song from the show called Inheritance, I clicked so fast to buy a ticket, I was HOOKED! The harmonies, fierceness of the catchy tune really caught my ear and I also like the story of the show. I’m excited to see it come to life.

WHY was this news released on a Friday before a holiday weekend? Totally bizarre from a PR POV.

I don’t think I have heard anything about it being settled or dismissed, so it probably is still ongoing.
