Nerdy Prudes Must Die is, to me, the least attention grabbing out of the other Hatchetfield musicals. And without the corporate jargon, I mean it’s my least favorite and imo the least interesting. Like yes, yay, the Lords in Black, yippee. But I was only convinced to watch NPMD when I figured out they show up. What I knew prior was, “High school romance and accidental* high schooler murder.” And I don’t enjoy romance, and it was never mentioned in the posts I saw that the murder continues. And I love that part of the musical, I love anything that has to do with superhuman things. Especially when it comes to murder, I love ghost Max, and I love the LiB. They’re evil and great and should not be redeemed.
But then there was the REST. I was so bored when basically anything and everything was happening. There are many great scenes, and I bet if they were memorable I would tell you them, but they aren’t. Except for the ones in the songs I like, those I can remember. I just feel like the other two were so much more interesting and fun. Why don’t I like this one? Is it the romance? That can’t be it I love Peter and Steph, especially when they’re together. Is it Ruth and Ritchie’s entire existence? No, they’re pretty decent from what I remember. SO WHAT IS IT?
