Critics are raving about the catchy melodies, clever lyrics and engaging, fresh cast. Follow a group of Brooklyn 20-somethings coming of age, but not before making a mess of their lives. And no one makes a bigger mess than children’s puppeteer Christian Schwartzelberg when he meets the girl of his dreams, the beautiful singer-songwriter Juliana.
