Written by WET members Ali el-Gasseir and Ella Dorband, The Callers delves into a world of tangled phone cords and dial tones where everybody's searching for something and they're forever hoping not to be on the receiving end of a busy signal. The show features original music composed by Richard Andriessen. Andrew Russell directs.

The actors were excellent, as was their singing. The storyline was interesting and engaging. Without giving it away, and I most likely will with my comment: the ending was a disconnect with the lighter, more humorous tone of the musical. It didn't work for me.

really fun show - very well-rehearsed and professional yet still personal. i had a great time at the world premiere of 'the callers'! the music was well chosen and well written. my only bit of feedback would be to tighten up the ending a little and you're good to go. thanks for the show!

Very good ensemble. They are very talented and entertaining. Unique premise that kept my interest for the full 90 minutes.

Very nice individual performances, but I don't think the material was as good as the performers. A lot of "Tell", and not a lot of "Show". I had the impression that a lot of material was cut that would have deepened relationships and characterization, which would have taken care of a lot of the problems.
