Review by CHARLES ZIARKO

June 06, 2016 certified reviewer

What I liked

Patter song for police detectives in the style of THE MUSIC MAN!?! Eclectic song score, mainly so-so.

What I didn't like

MUCH too long, score too WEAK, lighting really BAD

My overall impression

Some talented people (not all of them) trapped in a derivative play peppered with songs! Not really Fringe: too sober to be satire, and not clever enough to be played straight—-for OVER two hours! Songs=so-so, with one patter number ala THE MUSIC MAN! WORST flaw: VERY POOR lighting, so dark that I could barely see the first 15 minutes and I was sitting in the 3rd row!
