Sources report that theater kid David Walker’s portrayal of a straight love interest is really starting to push audiences’ suspension of disbelief.
“Let me be clear, I was fully on board for the musical’s spells, talking plants, and levitation,” audience member Jane Nguyen explained. “But when I realized halfway through the show that Walker was supposed to be the protagonist’s love interest it just destroyed my immersion.”
“I mean come on, he had more chemistry with the guy he’s competing with than with the girl they’re supposed to be competing for!” Nguyen said, watching the two leads struggle to make the big kiss believable. “It’s less like a love triangle and more like a very-much-resolved love line.”
At press time, Nguyen’s immersion was restored when a 14-year-old girl from an affluent suburb debuted as an old woman who lost everything in the Dust Bowl.
