My overall impression
I’ve been doing the Fringe thing for the past couple years, and Lost Moon Radio is probably the one act I plan my whole schedule around. This year’s show Million Dollar Hair might be tied for my favorite thing I’ve seen them do. I really like their usual freeform radio format, but a tribute concert was right up their alley. It’s kind of crazy how they just deliver song after song after song that’s both super catchy and super funny. I saw another review comparing Lost Moon to Weird Al, but I think they go beyond what he does. He changes lyrics to popular songs and is always playing himself. Lost Moon creates the whole thing from scratch, from music to lyrics to characters. You can guess who they are parodying, but it’s also something brand new.
There was only one drawback to the night. The theater they’re in has a concrete floor and brick walls, which kind of makes it an echo chamber. It wasn’t made for music-heavy shows, and Million Dollar Hair is basically a musical. But other than that, this is definitely a Fringe show you need to see. You will laugh a lot and the songs will get stuck in your head.
