My personal opinion

Easiest 10/10 I've ever had to give in my life!

Such an amazing film. I loved every minute of it...

The choreography, the songs, the acting, the setting, the storyline, the theme, the message about bringing people together through performing arts.

It was all so inspiring! Highly recommend.
