The Runaway Clone

matt ritchey · June 02, 2018 certified reviewer
CAVEAT: I’m a friend and collaborator with this group and am reviewing as such, not in an official capacity with Gia On The Move. Unknown Artists and Ruckus Rockwell did it again. RUNAWAY CLONE is a tight, laugh-out-loud musical comedy with well- crafted characters, a seamless plot, and inspired writing - both book and music. All of the performances are on fire, but Pam Quinn’s evil doctor shines with comedic brilliance. Scott Golden delivers a touching performance and a monologue I am jealou... full review

Nosferatu, A Symphony in Terror.

matt ritchey · June 24, 2017 certified reviewer
Loved it! I'm so glad NOSFERATU came to Fringe, as I missed it at Crown and heard it was great! It is!! Great performances, great choreography, truly specific and refined acting and directing, and video which enhanced rather than distracted from the show! I'm also a huge fan of the spot-on costuming and make-up. This is my kind of theatre! And in a great space that really works for it! ... full review

Perfect location, great script, terrific cast, and a great "twist"! Wonderful interpretations of some of literature's finest by the talented cast (I'm a big fan of Sweet Ol' Bob)! ... full review

A Harmony Boys Christmas

matt ritchey · June 23, 2017 uncertified reviewer
Okay. POSSIBLY my favorite show of Fringe. So good. So amazingly, amazingly good. First off, I'm a sucker for Christmas. Next, I'm a suck for 60's holiday songs. Then, I was lucky enough to be handed one of the Christmas Crackers which is a tradition in my family and will now take on an entirely new meaning. The songs, the delivery, the acting, the script, the BAND - it was all spot-on. I hope to go again at Christmas. Please.... full review

The Spidey Project

matt ritchey · June 19, 2017 certified reviewer
I heard about this show when it first started in New York and honestly considered getting a plane ticket to go see it. I saw first Theatre Unleashed production of it when it came to LA years ago. I loved it. This production was even better. First-rate performances, fun songs, and Spidey fight scenes! GO!... full review

Chemo Barbie: My Lady Bits' Journey Through Breast Cancer.

matt ritchey · June 18, 2017 uncertified reviewer
Calling a show "brave" is a cliche and kinda obnoxious adjective, as it can be easily misconstrued or misappropriated. But it's apt in CHEMO BARBIE, as Heather digs into the personal and even professional fears connected to being diagnosed with breast cancer. ... full review

Three Can Keep A Secret

GO! GO! GO! This is not only the best thing theater unleashed has ever done that I've seen, but it's one of the best of Fringe this year! Expertly written, wonderfully directed, and the performances across-the-board are fantastic! Carey Matthews is an outstanding host! GO!!!!... full review
