I saw in the big theatre at Asylum, and I found it to be quite enjoyable. It's a very personal view into the fresh off the boat actor's life in LA, which generally I would say is a bit cliche, but I think the lead actress pulled it off well. It's about the hardships of auditioning, dating, living, and being in Hollywood. The musical numbers are solid, even when they're obviously meant to be funny and there is a strip tease number that..well...lets just say I was pretty happy to be in the front ro... full review

I loved this show, and your kids will too. Great script with both heart and humor. Slurm steals the show with his aviator goggles and a ridiculous fake mustache, but it's a solid ensemble no doubt.

In this place and time, the playwright has managed to conjure up an incredibly dramatic scenario that highlig... full review

Wet Cookies is a morbid trip on a magical school bus with free blow pops, William Shakespeare DVD commentary, Nazis, and a hand magician who pulls rabbit fingers out of his...hand. Even with a smaller matinee crowd, they managed to pull some big laughs. They lose one star due to their scene changes being a little too long, but I imagine that will not be a factor at Saturday night's free IO West Show. There are plenty'o opportunities to see these sketch comedians, so don't miss it Otherwise, they ... full review
