CGiii Comment

Someone went a bit mad in the editing suite...more cuts than a mad mortician!

Was it meant to be funny...because, it is...it's one hysterical ham-and-cheese-fest!!!

Matt Zarley gives a masterclass in over-performance, he certainly can sing...but, turn down the histrionics and get rid of that orange tie...there's a dear!

The(ir) Blurb...

hopefulROMANTIC is a universal story about loving, letting go, and holding onto faith that
there's somebody for everybody. The nearly dialogue-free narrative is articulated solely
through Matt Zarley and Andy Zulla's soulful pop score...introducing a fresh new format in musical storytelling.
