GOLDFISH

I think this is a very interesting show with a cast that mostly knocked it out of the park.... full review

MONKEY MIND

erik blair · June 29, 2019 certified reviewer
I think the musical overall is really interesting and different. I found the monkey characters to be a fascinating way of trying to externalize the voices we all have in our heads. All in all, I think it's a great first version of a musical. I think it needs more shaping and fine-tuning to be fantastic but I liked what I saw.... full review

LORD OF THE LIES

erik blair · June 29, 2019 certified reviewer
I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I came to see this show. Leaving it, I'm -still- not entirely certain what I saw. Was this a show trying to persuade me the earth is flat (which I don't believe based on my OWN experiments as a kid)? Does the author still actually even believe that? I left with a lot of thoughts and no clear answer. But boy, was it a hell of a ride.... full review

POCKETS

erik blair · June 29, 2019 certified reviewer
As always, the group at Robot Teammate shines with a new musical that is both inspired and goofy. If there is ONE production company that I can count on to put together something I will love as a comedy/musical, this is the team. Pockets continues that grand tradition.... full review

Olivia Wilde Does Not Survive the Apocalypse

erik blair · June 23, 2019 certified reviewer
An engaging post-apocalyptic tale that overall works well. A different sort of experience from Matt Robinson that takes the audience on a strange, different sort of ride to a great destination. Even if it has a few bumps along the way.... full review

Butcher Holler Here We Come!

erik blair · June 23, 2019 certified reviewer
This is hands down one of the best things I've seen at Fringe this year. Different, compelling, beautiful in its design and execution. I was literally blown away by the experience and I've told everyone I know to see it before it's gone.... full review

Bat Knight!

erik blair · June 23, 2019 certified reviewer
This was like an episode of the 1960's Batman TV show if it was created for the Carol Burnett show or SNL. Goofy, strange, occasionally bizarre and always funny. It's filled with a great cast that leaps at their attempts to spoof Batman and his villains with joy and humor. An exceptionally good time.... full review

Four Clowns Presents: Shakedown at the Dusty Spur!

erik blair · June 23, 2019 certified reviewer
There is something incredibly joyful about a well-presented melodrama and this show is -exactly- that. A lot of fun from beginning to end, Four Clowns has returned with a show that has just enough fun for kids and just enough adult-humor to feel a 'little bit' dirty. It's a nice combination that's well acted and just a good ole' time.... full review

The Same Room

erik blair · June 23, 2019 certified reviewer
A smart, physically sharp and exceptionally performed story. Everything about this show kept me on the edge of my seat with compelling acting and writing that covered an impressive sliver of a broken relationship. One of the smartest shows I've seen at Fringe this year.... full review

Rock Band Murder Mystery

erik blair · June 23, 2019 certified reviewer
A somewhat interesting idea that was largely flawed in its execution. The 'mystery' wasn't much of one because of how clues were presented and the 'rock band' part was not as much fun as one would have hoped.... full review
