The entire cast of Girls5eva deserve five stars on their comedic performances. Sara Bareilles, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Busy Philipps, and Paula Pell strike the right musical balance as the group. These talented actresses really sell the extreme personalities of their characters with Goldsberry brilliantly portraying the delusional, over-the-top diva, Wickie.
