Streaming platforms need content. Theater needs revenue streams. Hence the glut of uneven-at-best musical adaptations on platforms like Disney+ and Netflix. But bringing stage and screen talent together to create original stories tailored to streaming can yield more inspired results, as Hulu’s _Up Here_ so endearingly demonstrates. Scripted by [_Dear Evan Hansen_](https://time.com/4696451/dear-evan-hansen-musical/) playwright Steven Levenson and sitcom vet Danielle Sanchez-Witzel ([_New Girl_](https://time.com/21320/new-girl-feminist-lean-in/), [_The Carmichael Show_](https://time.com/4319136/review-the-carmichael-show/)), with Thomas Kail ([Disney+’s _Hamilton_](https://time.com/5862052/hamilton-disney-plus-review/)) in the director’s chair and songs by Disney stalwarts [Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez](https://time.com/11785/oscars-frozen-egot/), the series, which debuts on March 24, infuses the magic of Broadway into what might otherwise have been a mundane romantic comedy. Mae Whitman stars as Lindsay, a habitual good girl with dreams of becoming a writer, who scrounges up the courage to dump her milquetoast fiancé, flee their sleepy Vermont hometown, and move to Manhattan to build a more exciting life, in the fateful year of 1999\. While her glamorous roommate is hooking up with a stranger in a bar bathroom, Lindsay—clad in squeaky PVC pants and eager to pass as a real New Yorker—meets Miguel (Carlos Valdes), a sensitive finance guy struggling to fit in with fratty colleagues. They click, but things get complicated fast.  From left: Katie Finneran, John Hodgman, Sophia Hammons, Mae Whitman, Carlos Valdes, Emilia Suarez, Andréa Burns, and Scott Porter in Up Here Patrick Harbron—Hulu The cycle of breakups and makeups that follows is rom-com boilerplate, and thus the eight-episode season drags a bit. What elevates _Up Here_ are the surreal musical numbers, which illuminate why Lindsay and Miguel keep sabotaging their relationship. Each surrounded by a chorus of critical people from their past—parents, rivals, exes—they’re swept up in showtunes that cast doubt on the possibility of ever really knowing another person and R&B songs about why they’ll never fit in. Offbeat humor and earthy lyrics (on the plastic pants: “What if they’re worth contracting yeast infections in?”) ward off any whiff of saccharine. Like [_Crazy Ex-Girlfriend_](https://time.com/4185470/crazy-ex-girlfriend-rachel-bloom-spanx-diversity-cw/) with a neurotypical twist, _Up Here_ understands that musical sequences are opportunities for introspection—and that nothing can make a brain go haywire like the vicissitudes of love.
