Customer Reviews
Nobody's Perfect....perfectly amazing!! (first review)
The music is amazing. The actors are extremely talented. The story is powerful. A recipe for a simply outstanding musical! This show is captivating, and the plotline is very unique. It is not only kid-friendly, but is truthful enough to appeal to all age groups of all maturity levels . To be a part of it is even more special! Fall in love with Nobody's Perfect...I sure did! :-)

Its true nobodys perfect.. and who cares if ur different! dont hide just... get up there and show what and how you are different!
This one eye is blueish green the other's greenish blue....
So I understand this is a Deaf oriented show, but is there a cast album of the songs? I kinda have "99.9% perfect" stuck in my head!
