Rivalry Goes on Stage: A Campy Parody That Delivers Surprising Heart

An Off-Broadway review of Heated Rivalry: The Unauthorized Musical Parody, praising Jay Armstrong Johnson and Jimin Moon for lending surprising depth to a campy spoof of a popular TV hockey romance. The show mirrors key series moments with some tweaks, features 14 songs over about 80 minutes, and is framed by three playful narrators.
