Down In Front

By far the best play I've seen at Fringe… and the best play I've seen in a while. Strong performances from BOTH of the leads, and great moments from the entire supporting cast made it impossible to hold my sides from bursting with laughter. But the best part was the gripping message holding the entire prose together. Altogether, a great love story - honest, true and pure - and truly a spectacle. Worth at least 3 viewings - and not an admission less!! ... full review

Down In Front is one of those rare shows one wishes to see again and again. I truly hope it will be picked up for a prolonged run. The cast is as good as it gets at this time in Los Angeles, and I've been around the block professionally and see many plays. As protagonist, the nervous wreck Paul, Daniel Dorr gives a performance measures up to the highest standards in acting. An exciting performer of considerable talent of whom we will hear of much in the future. All others are brilliant too. Not a weak link in this hilariously deep work of the very talented writer Steve Waverly. I say BEST OF FRINGE.... full review

This was terrific theater,the best kind of surprise. The big things and the little things. Start with the the writing - sharp, twisting, clever, wry and laugh out loud funny. It hit the sweet spots without you even noticing, and kept right on moving. Rare is the day you get ambushed by good. Then the directing - here's where the little things show up time and again. The main actors got it right, but the supporting actors also doing the right things in the moment for extra comic of dramatic touches if you're fast enough to catch it all. If not, see the play again. And the acting - the lead could teach Woody Allen a thing or two about how to play anxiety. Yes, he was that good. The whole plate o' shrimp was thoroughly refreshing. ... full review
