Strong songs and a strong cast bring a lot of heart to this piece. The show humanizes what could have been a cliche "cult" story. Smartly, the focus is on the relationships, friendships, romances and politics of enthusiastic hopeful young people who choose to exist separate from normal society. At times touching and at times creepy, the songs are great. The subject matter does not seem to easily lend itself to being a musical, but this show pulls it off.... full review

The spot-on rock score by Ron Barnett drives this piece with some intense, memorable songs that the audience clearly loved. The cast was excellent and the energy was high, with some soaring voices and excellent harmonies. Tough material for a musical left my very entertained!... full review

Really great show! Driving rock music with some interspersed genre parody is performed by stellar actors and augmented by engaging choreography. It's an intellectual's approach to the Manson Family, with minimal gore but a strong degree of tension.... full review

CLAIRE PARTIN certified reviewer June 21, 2018
Manson's Girls is a nostalgic, sometimes chilling, sometimes silly fun musical about the women followers of Charles Manson leading up to the infamous Sharon Tate murders. It's a crowd pleasing musical about a mass murderer. One can see how this is a Fringe favorite!... full review

This show has a lot of potential but had a long way to go. The cast were wonderful and talented and I hope that this script continues to develop. In it's current form its a great deal of unrealized potential. ... full review
