Bronies: The Musical

Loved this show! So fun and funny!! The lyrics to the songs were very smartly written. (ROTFL pronounced Roffell was my favorite!) The show is also very well cast. The characters really grew on me. I wanted to hug everyone at the end! I hope this team keeps turning out the awesomeness!! I'll see every show they make!... full review

Faith covers six different women's perspective on family and life. Faith moves from one to the other seamlessly. She's an engaging storyteller. The show is honest and raw - and has you giggling all at the same time. Add this show to your 'must-sees' at Fringe! ... full review

Traveling with Angels

J. Rene Pena is warm and likable so this is a quick hour. Her story is heartbreaking but you never worry that she won't recover. There are tons of tiny moments along the way that make you smile and give you the warm fuzzies. Ms. Pena is a talent and you leave the theatre wanting to hug her! ... full review

That's funny. You didn't sound black on the phone.

Loved this show. Jacquetta had me in the palm of her hand the whole time. It felt like sitting around just telling stories. Only her story is a hilarious, eye-opener! Glad I didn't miss this one! ... full review

BOBBYWOOD: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BOBBY THE BELLBOY?

lisa cole · June 21, 2013 certified reviewer
Bill Ratner easily transitions from greeting guests in the lobby to being the star of his own show. With his comfort and confidence level you know you're in good hands from the very start. Bill's vivid story telling and his overwhelming charm make this a quick 55 minutes. Then you spend the rest of the evening missing Bill. Go see him. More importantly, go hear him. ... full review

Fancy! A Southern Gothic Camp Parable

Ms. Farah is riveting and could have carried a show twice as long. She's adorable. And Funny. I saw actual knee slapping in the audience. Loved it. So glad I went!... full review

Love Actually Isn't

lisa cole · June 15, 2013 certified reviewer
I enjoyed this show so much! Dan Johnson wrote honestly and hilariously, from four different points of view and the actors took it from there. The entire cast was committed and talented. My favorites were the funny and natural, Craig Taggart in Post-Fabulous, and Dani Thompson and Edmund Shaff in the adorable and touching "Leftovers". The transitions between shows could use a little streamlining but overall a great show. Kept us discussing all the way home. ... full review

The Real Housekeepers of Studio City

lisa cole · June 11, 2013 uncertified reviewer
This show is FUN! The hour flies by. There are some really great voices in this show, especially Lani Shipman. There are lots of clever references and the songs are the icing on the cake. The show I saw was a preview and it ran very smoothly. There was one minor sound glitch- the actors improv'd a line, got a laugh, and it was fixed. So glad we went. You will be too!! ... full review
