I was absolutely enamored by this show. The performers were absolutely incredible, and the staging was above and beyond anything I ever expected. The choreography of the set and props with actors leaves so much to the imagination while also creating a realistic world in a fantastical setting. The character arcs are strong, and the music is well done (and even often, dare I say, adorable at times). I absolutely didn't want it to end....

What a load of fun! This show, in its short runtime, manages to pack a punch.

The refreshments were fun, but rotating through the space, interactions with performers, and ...

Weird and uncomfortable in the best way possible--in a great way. I've been on a kick lately of watching documentaries about MLM's and timeshare presentations, and this show felt like I was watching one of those documentaries. This show accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do--make me buy in to whatever the presenters are selling if I know they're giant sleazeballs making everything sound so good....

A refreshing break from all the shows that scream 'FRINGE,' "Under the Table and Dreaming" is an earnest, nostalgic look at the "what ifs" in life that we all face at one point or another and takes us on a tailspin adventure diving deeper into the meaning of the "what ifs" as the show progresses....

Fun, fast-paced, and quick-witted, there is strong chemistry between the dynamic duo with Byrnes' incredible voice and Pearcy's impeccable comedic timing that is very much in tune (pun intended) with the impressive Johnides on the keys....
