Such a clever show with hilarious musical acts that perfectly parody a wide range of music genres! I loved the banter between musical acts, the purposeful atonal piano hits, Austin's befuddled wide-eyed stares, Andie's range of characters reminiscent of Carol Burnett, and the pure silly joy of the entire show. They fully commit to the bit and I am here for it!...

I never thought I would be so emotionally moved by a comedic one person show, especially one entitled "Fuck! An Iceberg". Mallie McCown brilliantly distills the beloved classic into a one person extravaganza while sacrificing none of essential characters, moments, plot points, or memes. But more importantly, McCown gifts the audience with the vulnerability of her real childhood journal entries. She allows the audience to draw parallels between her experiences and the Oscar winning film that has h...

This show could be an episode of Black Mirror. The immersive show puts the audience in the middle of a dystopian, though not terribly unrealistic, world. We learn over the course of the Meeting what has happened and the mystery surrounding the Leader and Boot Crews adds to the tension. Poignant questions about the importance, relevance, necessity, and perhaps even inevitability of art guide the show and force the audience to reflect on their own experiences and values. An important piece of theat...

A smartly written show that presents a captivating horror story complete with jump scares, slow burn realizations, and a haunted house. The show brilliantly uses the existing structure of the theatre as the set to create an almost immersive feel. The direction and technical details create a truly spooky environment. Rachel Hip-Flores as Charlotte Taylor commands the stage and wonderfully guides the audience along her journey through the poor, haunted history of this house for sale. I'm sold on th...

Anyone who likes shanties, pirates, tight vocal harmonies, or live music will love this show. The show presents a collection of brilliantly arranged shanties which the pirate crew cast sings in such tightly perfect harmony. I particularly loved the numbers that incorporated comedic movements to tell the story - the petticoats were hilarious!...

An exceptional new musical! The cast were stellar in their roles and their voices blended together beautifully. The opening number was a distinct highlight. The music was brilliantly composed and reminiscent of Jonathan Larson. The book and lyrics created memorable, fully developed characters who you wanted to root for and who you became invested in over the course of the show. The creative use of set and sharply executed choreography made excellent use of the fringe stage. I would love to see a ...

A thriller that takes the audience on darker and darker turns. The actors commanded their characters wonderfully. The use of the ensemble as a Greek chorus was a fantastic touch. I could see this script being presented on stage or on screen....

A delightful dive into the beloved classic from the perspective of Paris! Charlie Day seamlessly navigates between ridiculous comedy and emotional introspection at the drop of a hat. The show is expertly written and performed - especially the final monologue. Day commands the stage and charms the audience from start to finish....

Veronica Rosas delivers a hilariously raw performance in Slay Me which shines a light on the experience of women over 30. Her dark comedy elicits loads of laughs and she does not shy away from seemingly self deprecating humor. But the absolute highlight for me was the profound vulnerability in the sections where she questions her motives and deepest fears....
