There's a bounty of potential with Witches in the Closet, and I hope it gets another chance to shine soon.

With two incredibly talented singers, this is a new musical about two sapphic young women accused of witchcraft. Cute and simple choreography accompany simple (but effective) lighting and set design. The writing felt a bit clunky at times (lyrics included) and could do with a little polishing. I chalk the longer-than-needed scene transitions up to a completion of the song's instrumentals that simply took too much time when the actors were ready to move on. Trim some of the excess music and keep the pace up, instead.

The ending is in need of closure, doubling back to my earlier point of polishing up the writing. There's a lot of emotional depth only touched on and not fully explored in this new musical. Consider allowing the weight of the character's experience to sacrifice some of the pretty vocals and music.

All in all, a decent show with plenty of room to grow.
