'Head Over Heels,' on stage in Tucson at the University of Arizona, features a vibrant score of tunes from the '80s girl band, The Go-Go's.

The story is about a bunch of confused lovers tackling off-the-wall tasks to … well, we are not sure of the purpose, but we think it has something to do with keeping the cool musical beat in their town of Arcadia.

Ashling Shockey can hit impossibly high notes and gave her character Mopsa a spunkiness that drew you to her. AJ Taylor, a junior in the musical theater program, had a fierce energy and focus as Princess Pamela. And her voice impressed. On stage less frequently, but rightfully drawing loud cheers from the audience, was Brach Drew, who plays the proudly nonbinary character, Pythio, who sets the tasks and threatens the punishments to the people of Arcadia.Everyone in the cast is a musical theater major, with the exception of Simpson, who is an acting major.
