Shuffle Along

Very sweet and genuine performance. Arthur L. Ross can sing anything. He delivers a multi-talented performance and tells an informative and personal story. I am definitely glad I got to see this.... full review

Generation ME the Musical

josh hillinger · June 16, 2014 certified reviewer
u/EllenDostal just posted a totally accurate review. This show is so genuine you get completely immersed in the story and these peoples' lives. Not these characters' lives. These people, these teenagers, live on stage. It's gold. It's precious. It's perfect theatre. Everyone up there is totally natural comfortable, and just nailing these songs, scenes, and dance numbers. I was like, where did these guys come from? Answer: Flying Monkey Productions in Sacramento. Sign me up for that ... full review

Death By PowerPoint

josh hillinger · June 16, 2014 certified reviewer
Well presented, funny and smart. The four presentations were keenly delivered with bravado. The show has balls, is what I'm saying. The ending was a little weird and I wish it tied the characters together a bit more. But everything else had me all the way.... full review

The Werewolves of Hollywood Blvd: A Damnable Rock Musical

josh hillinger · June 16, 2014 certified reviewer
This show rocked. Awesome music, awesome performances, a great introduction to Orgasmico Theatre Company. I thought this show was super fun, well paced, with great characters and really stand-out performances by all the leads. I've been singing songs from the show since opening night. It was like Les Mis and Assassins had a demon baby with Jack the Ripper and the Wolfman in Hollywood. CHOMP CHOMP!... full review

WET THE HIPPO

josh hillinger · July 09, 2013 certified reviewer
I had a dream about this show last night. I swear. I think that's how excited I am to see it again. Takes sketch comedy to a whole new, raw, real, crazy, demented, controlled, perfected level. It's improv! It's sketch! It's improv! It's sketch! It's improv AND sketch. It's perfect.... full review

The Real Housekeepers of Studio City

josh hillinger · June 23, 2013 certified reviewer
Lurch!!! OMG. I wish I had the cast names to compliment more specifically, but I'll do my best to let you know who you are. The character of Lurch was portrayed phenomenally. Just ... great physical comedy in its simplicity. I don't think I caught the guy blink once. Great commitment. Now, here's I guess why I give the show a like it, not love it ... the actress who played ... um ... the voluptuous woman - the first housekeepr - and um ... the one from the 70s? From the Jeffersons... full review

MisShapen

josh hillinger · June 23, 2013 uncertified reviewer
Was writing my "like it" review in my head before I was left with tears in my eyes by the end of the show. This show has heart. True heart. True passion. Acting for acting's sake, and giving a damn good message to all who see it. Fun, funny, at times VERY powerful. A bit immature on acting side, but really something special. I found this show to be a really nice treat for me to have seen in the fringe. The show also has one of my favorite musical numbers of the fringe so far with th... full review

Four Clowns presents Me Rich You Learn

josh hillinger · June 23, 2013 certified reviewer
A ridiculous show - and I really happened to enjoy it. TR Hammer is the next Kenny Powers. Hilarious, absurd, totally out of left field, yet kept together by a freestanding tax camera. Brilliant physical comedy, impeccable timing, unflinchingly truthful characters. A really fun, totally bizarre show. I hope these guys go on to host all sorts of seminars.... full review

Lost Moon Radio presents Roger Wodehouse's Androgymnasium

josh hillinger · June 22, 2013 certified reviewer
Loved it, liked it, thought maybe I wasn't going to like it, but couldn't help but love the whole thing. This is a very talented cast, and an absolutely full and complete production. Ryan Harrison as Roger is so freakin' spot on with his Bowie-esque impression. It's a blast to hear him speak and a privilege to hear him sing. He carries the show. The band is fantastic and the original music had me nodding my head and tapping my feet - in a much more rocking out sort of way than I'm making i... full review
