On the surface, this appears to be a run-of-the-mill musical, however its deeper than that. Each of the daughters have their own backstories (some more intriguing than others), which are all subtly explored, though only around the fringes of the main story. The halloween sequence was also a dark and highly appropriate moment in the saccharine world the girl's inhabit, paying off perfectly, settling back in with the sickly-sweet humour which permeates the town.
Another high point is that the songs often fit the mood and flow into and out of naturally, rarely feeling forced (for long).
