And I'm not even a math person!

I admit, I laughed when I first heard of this concept-a musical about a THEOREM? About MATH? A MATHEMATICIAN? But when my professor offered extra credit to go watch this movie (recorded from a live performance), I wasn't about to turn it down. As I sit here now, I can't get the songs out of my head! It was clever and catchy, not to mention well-acted...I am most definitely NOT a "math person", but I am also very much a "theatre person"-and this movie definitely appealed to THAT side of my personality. Every one of the actors and actresses captured their roles accurately and enjoyably, and were all a pleasure to watch perform. This musical is loosely based on a true story, which makes it all the more intriguing. I don't know where you can obtain a copy of this film, but if you come across it, give it a shot! I give it a 10!
