School of rock but if it kinda sucked.

Warning: Spoilers
As a actor, and stand up comedian. I think a musical concept inspiration of school of rock is not bad. But when I saw this I was like, "Why just no!" Now first off the the plot. The villains are taking over the city of Townsville, and the girls come in to save the day but just end up getting beaten up, then they wish for a day of peace, and that where the Gnome (Originally for Jack Black, but now he is played by Jess Harnell) comes out of a fould and promises peace in the city but if they give him the girl's power and so the Powerpuff Girls give up they're powers and the gnome has the power and uses it secretly for evil like it's his own king. But skip that part, when the girls are fighting the gnome in song which every song starts every 5 to 10 seconds! Now I know what your thinking, "Come on that's ridiculous! Musicals always have a talking dialog" But this one the girls don't even speak in this, same goes with the mayor, the citizens, and even the fricking villains don't even talk in this! It like these musical numbers don't need to have a point or a lead anymore, it's like these songs just play out of nowhere, CAN THEY AT LEAST TALK FOR JUST ONE OR TWO WHOLE MINUTES!?

But when they are fighting the Gnome there is a scene forcing the religion of Taoism/Daoism of the ying and yang to everyone saying, "Hey this is why everyone should be listening to." And this was the final straw when I saw this, but I made towards the end. So the girls defeat the Gnome and it ends with one more musical number "Why can't we all get along?" And the Narrator singing "One again the day is saved thanks to the Powerpuff Girls!"

So what parts where good about this musical?

1. The voice actors, everyone has a good singing voice. E. G Daily I already knew cause she is also a singer too, same with Tara, and Cathy not gonna lie are also great singers. The only songs for this that's good is "The city of Townsville is going down," and "Freedom Beef" those two were a banger.

2. I think it would have been actually good if they didn't add the Taoism/Daoism, and if every musical number didn't start randomly and they gave time for the characters to talk and to have a reason to sing instead of the songs instantly start singing.

3. The Narrator should have been in a few other scenes. I mean I think the Narrator, (Played by Tom Kenny who also does a few other characters in the show) should have been added in like "and so the girls sadly gave away their powers." or "Uh oh, girls don't trust this gnome!" Then that would have made more sense in this.

But it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll, but this made it in the middle and back down.

I'm giving it a three because of the Taoism/Daoism added and forced in, and the songs kept on going without anyone having time to talk.
