Review by CHARLES ZIARKO

June 06, 2016 certified reviewer

What I liked

Thoroughly professional in every way!

What I didn't like

The Sound Mix! Is the Sound Designer DEAF? Maybe so, but I’m not and found myself covering my ears quite a few times, even though the performers were only a very few feet in front of me!

My overall impression

The 2016 Fringe Season isn’t even officially open yet but already this show has established itself as “Most Likely to Succeed”, both within and beyond the Fringe venue. Even the first preview had a thoroughly professional cast (4m,4f) performing a thoroughly professional “revue” (in the old-fashioned sense of the term) of smart, sometimes politicized material, which wanders afield from the safely-generic title. Amazingly even-handed, with everyone getting more than one chance to step out and shine! Smoothly staged, with the right amount of visual embellishment to keep it moving for 85 minutes! A Sure Winner in ANY venue! Now if only the Deafening Sound Mix could be corrected!
