Synopsis
A slice-of-life musical comedy which follows the members of It's All In The Mind's as they pick up the pieces after the pandemic devastated their musical careers and try to hit the heights they once never reached.
Our Review
The credits towards the end was too hilarious, especially, 'makeup' - we could have used some and 'Legal counsel'- Google. Reach up & try again is a laughable, lovable musical drama by Mark Stallard. Mark, Jared & Ryan totally enjoy acting as much as we do watching it.
