Best Musical Production

Marshall Pailet's world-premiere musical at the Chance Theater is still early in its development, and a few wrinkles need to be ironed-out, but this smart, funny musical contained genuine heart and just enough goofy humor to offset the sincere examination of a teenage daughter dealing with the loss of her mother—as well as meeting the real-life Nessie, the fabled creature rumored to exist in the murky depths of Scotland's Loch Ness. It hit the maximum on LA Bitter Lemons' lemonmeter (basically an aggregate ranking of theater reviews), with all six schlubs, including the Weekly's own, bestowing much praise on it. Pailet is still in his 20s, so keep him on your radar.
