~A Most Triumphant Tale~

To put it lightly the two year sevens seated next to me were loud and annoying as well as the constant name shouting over the actors who were trying to speak but other than that I enjoyed the production.

They need to do it in time to defeat the rival band, One Dimension who are a group of popular lip syncing fakes. In the end they have to travel through time to moments of music history to get famous musicians to join the band and defeat them to protect the future from bubblegum pop fakers.
