Alright, as a gay male I am so sick of this ridiculous over the top portrayal of most gay men. With the huge drama moves and limp wrist of course. COMPLETELY stereotypical and ridiculous, I mean aren't most gays trying to combat being stereotyped, so why allow it to happen in movies portraying us? Storyline was SO predictable, the acting FAR too over the top and lazy. It's insulting to think that in 2022 this is what passes as "entertainment" and it's also insulting to think that any gay person would find this entertaining or appropriate. Garbage to the extreme.

Cute with a nice message about being true to yourself

Some of the reviews on here are pretty harsh. Yes, I would agree there were some pitch issues, especially with the lead. But the songs were good, choreography was entertaining, sets and costumes were colourful and fun and the girl playing Diana was great!
The script reminded me of high school, so it was relatable. Sadly, I knew a boy who went thru the same experience as Trevor, including the bullying from peers, parents being unaccepting and so forth. Conversion therapy was involved and suicidal ideation too. Thankfully he didn't go thru with it.
Ultimately, a story that deserves to be heard until society stops needing to hear it.

I watched the short film years ago, when I first came out as trans. I thought it was good, but this is a much better version I think (still recommend the short film if you haven't seen it though). I really loved this musical and it is so beautifully and wonderfully done.
Before you stage a show, find talent

I saw Trevor: The Musical on Broadway in Nov 2021. I was in a theater maybe 1/3rd full and by intermission half had left because the performance was so bad.
The story could be powerful BUT the lack of vocal talent made this excruciating to listen to. I thought maybe I was wrong so when it came to Disney +, I gave it another shot. My mistake as it was as bad as I remembered.
Don't waste your time.

It was nice. Very predictable though. Also i dont get why people dislike this because it's stereotypical. Like as a "stereotypical" gay male, we need stories about both feminine gays and masculine gays. Both can coexist without one being dunked on.
Okay?

The singing was not good at all. Character Trevor was good, but his singing......
Even Diana Ross's singing was bad , my god. Ouch
Lighting and costumes were fine. Plot was fine as well, not groundbreaking tho. The songs were almost all the same. There was not one song that I had great thoughts about.
Its not a musical that I'm gonna watch again...

Most real coming out story ever

As someone who grew up in the eighties I have to say this story was pretty spot on with how it portrayed coming out in the eighties. It was also nice to see a story where unlike Love, Simon and Heartstoppers, the character is really conflict and confused about what his newfound feelings meant.
Take away the musical and a lot of the plot rings true about coming out in the '80's and you'll understand why the Trevor Project is named after this Trevor. This Trevor is based on a story that was written back then. While they did touch on AIDS, since these are middle school kids, that wasn't the focus of the story.
Good acting, great story, great songs.
