She Geek Critique – Such a Timeless Flight
I’ve probably mentioned before that musicals are one of my pleasures (notice I didn’t say “guilty pleasure” – nothing to feel guilty about!).

Starring Curt Mega as (who else) Agent Curt Mega (when you’ve got a name like that you’re obviously already a spy), Mary Kate Wiles as Slozhno, plus other such popular musical and YouTube celebrities as Joey Richter, Joey Walker, Lauren Lopez, Brian Rosenthal, and Tessa Netting, this musical takes the spy genre to a new medium – the stage and YouTube.
