What I liked

WOW! I’ve never seen a Hollywood fringe show and I was blown away! The costumes were extraordinarily crazy in the BEST way. The writing and jokes were on point, I laughed out loud pretty much throughout the entire show. Chris Smith and Christina Rose dominate every scenario within the script and have the best chemistry, whether playing awkward, shy, confident or irresistibly sexy. See the play to find out what I mean!!! And I can say the same for the music. Christina Rose has a beautful voice with amazing range. Saudia Yasmein’s “Glendale” was also hysterical and loved her pipes as well! Amazing one-liners and just such natural delivery with the comedy. The backup dancers provided a hilarious ambiance and made me crack up with their exuberant facial expressions. The entire play ran like a hilarious skit in my mind. Everyone was so likable. I applaud the creator and everyone involved.

What I didn't like

I really can’t think of anything to dislike about this play. I was entertained throughout! That’s the point right?

My overall impression

I’d love to see it again! Amazing songs throughout! I actually can’t get the one about ecstasy out of my head.
