Totally thought this was a series of short comedy vignettes. Totally wrong. Totally glad. A great cast working with a great script and tying together some very well-written unique characters. Some comedy, some tears, and a lot of really good work.... full review

The phrase "tour de force" is really cliche. I don't care. This is an instance where words like "brilliant" and "amazing" sound like weak praise written by a friend of the performer. This is not a one-woman show. It's a full experience with multiple realistic characters in an emotional story guatanteed to bring you to tears. Cyanne is, simply put, amazing. Don't believe me? Well, woops, her show is completely sold out for the rest if the run. Try to catch it when she's extended - because... full review

Well, THIS was some of the most fun I've had at Fringe thus far! Not only is Three Clubs the perfect location for the Cherry Poppins girls, but the new loosely-plotted burlesque show is their best yet! This is old-school burlesque with a modern kick: classic songs, tap routines, comedy, magic (....), hip hop, a suave MC, a great live band, great costumes, and gorgeous, talented girls. Head over to Santa Monica and Vine and check out the selection of knockers - all shapes and sizes are on sa... full review

If you dig ROCK OF AGES and GREASE, you'll love POP! A fantastic collection of "new 80's songs" and an across-the-board stellar cast with inspired direction on a minimalist set - once again proving that you don't need Broadway fireworks to make a compelling story with fun characters explode on the stage! Get tickets NOW because tickets will pop out of existence FAST!!... full review

Best thing I've seen at Fringe! There's a reason this gets five star reviews - not only is the writing amazing but the performances - ACROSS THE BOARD - are perfect. You owe it to yourself to see this!!!... full review

A great cast in a fun unique location with fantastic music makes FUGITIVE SONGS a Fringe show to see! I was surprised to discover that it was meant as a song cycle, as the direction and distinct characters brought me on a definitive emotional journey - some high points include a terrific song about Kansas skies and an all-too-familiar rocker about needing to get out of Washington Heights! Check it out!... full review

Benjamin Schwartz brings a Tarantino film to life on the stage - at least that's how it feels! A great noirish tale of mistaken identities (or are they?) and KEY LARGO-esque bad guys holed up in one location, realtime, in a gory and involved mystery. Begging to become a short film, ZIP TIES is a great shift from many theatrical pieces at Fringe to something very cinematic. Great performances and a nice twist! (Pun not necessarily intended...) Check it out!... full review

AMAZING performers and incredible music in a space that is actually PERFECT for it! A creepy and heartfelt homage to the classic fairy tales and fairy tales archetypes, ANNABELLA shines with it's lush music and across-the-board fantastic cast. The tight bare-brick space evokes a very Rapunzel-trapped-in-tower claustrophobic vibe and the voices of the cast work perfectly. Have I mentioned the cast yet? Because: the cast. See it!... full review

Go. And I recommend not reading any other reviews - any worthwhile review will say things like "amazing experience" et cetera (and they'll be correct), but the less you know, the more fun it will be. Just buy tickets now.... full review

An unsurprisingly great show from the always-good ROGUE troupe with hyper-talented performers doing a wild a funny tour through the works of The Great Bill!! Go!!!!!... full review
