Executive producer Christine Bell begins a new musical experience as he reunites a high school band with distinctive musical performances. Every former student recovers more modern roles from his original production in front of Broadway directors, choreographers and trainers who assess those wonderful musical sounds.
Chances are that if you're in the Encore! target audience, you won't be disappointed regardless. You might be jealous that you're not on the show, but you won't be disappointed.
Encore! is guilty of orbiting the cliches of theater as an accepting "family," and that as painful as high school is, it all gets better eventually. But it also subverts its own messaging.
Despite the shortcomings of Encore's format, it's clear that each performer is having a blast reconnecting with their past, and it's fun to get a peek into the personalities and interpersonal dynamics that motivate these former co-stars.
Ultimately, the problem with Encore! is one of time and the limitations of a one-hour show happening upon more real-life drama than was expected. The series needed to have spent more time with the classmates to better address their shared histories.
I am quite in love with the Kristen Bell-produced "Encore!," a machine for dredging up deep feelings, in which the cast of a high school musical reunites after many years to stage it again.
Were it not for the evidence of a shared history on display, the adults playing kids in Annie may as well be strangers, and that lets some of the air out of Encore's intriguing setup.
