Reasons To Be Pretty

It has all the energy, but unfortunately it is an overly rushed, overly hostile production that falls into the traps that so many productions of Neil LaBute fall into.... full review

CHATTER

edward hong · June 18, 2017 certified reviewer
This is the better version of Pixar's INSIDE OUT but done in a more concise manner with more depth and nuance. It is also one of the most unique and shortest take (only 30 minutes!!) on the solo performance show even though it's technically not as there is a cast. For that, this show is a must see.... full review

Robot Monster the Musical

edward hong · June 17, 2017 certified reviewer
If you're a fan of bad sci-fi films, this play will give that to you straight up without any commentary. Otherwise, this play will not be to your liking as the plot makes no sense, the romance angle creepy AF, and the musical just dragging in terms of pace.... full review

Hey Hollywood, My Hustle Has ADHD

Rasika's sheer charisma and her confidence in storytelling was the anchor that drove this beautiful ADHD-riddled show. Bold, fearless, and fiercely funny, this show is a must see.... full review

The Motherf**ker With The Hat

edward hong · June 15, 2017 certified reviewer
Run, don't walk to see this. It is a dynamic theatre experience that showcases some truly talented actors who commit to the language of Stephen Adley Gurgis to the highest degree.... full review

The King's Language

edward hong · June 15, 2017 certified reviewer
Despite the show placing a heavy emphasis on the educational value rather than the emotional one, the show is a remarkable and unique play about the Korean king who created the Korean language. It is also extremely relevant to the current political situations in the U.S. now but you will have to see the show to discover that for yourself :)... full review

Buffy Kills Edward: A Musical Romp

edward hong · June 13, 2017 certified reviewer
A fun musical with catchy tunes, wonderful fight choreography and some standout performances (Sherry Berg in particular as Buffy is great!). Parts are hard to understand/jokes don’t necessarily make sense if you are not a fan of Twilight and/or Buffy. With some reworking and minor tweaks, I think this could be a really amazing show.... full review
