FERTILE.

bob leggett · June 10, 2019 certified reviewer
So many of us have always taken having children for granted. Thanks to the comic genius of Heather Dowling, we will never think of that topic in the same way we have before. Dowling delivered a gem in her last Fringe show back in 2015, the only year we did not attend, so we were determined to catch her latest show, and we’re so glad we did. ... full review

Crabbe and Goyle are Dead

The audience wanted so badly to like this show, but even for those of us who have read all the books and seen all the movies, this one had us lost in the Forbidden Forest. ... full review

Leaving Prince Charming

bob leggett · June 10, 2019 certified reviewer
One of the reasons I have always loved solo shows is the depth of honesty and relatability.  Leaving Prince Charming is further proof of that fact.  Lara Repko delivers a masterpiece of solo theater with another in a long line of unfortunate stories about domestic violence. ... full review

To Richard!

Death is not normally a funny topic, but the brilliance of the script and the shear power of the performances by writer/ director Jessica Durdock Moreno and Nicky Romaniello turn this somber subject into a hilarious romp.... full review

Tattered Capes

bob leggett · June 10, 2019 certified reviewer
Theatre Unleashed has earned its reputation for consistently delivering Fringe hits, and this show does not deviate from that pattern.  It was one of our Most Anticipated shows of HFF19, and was a truly different type of Fringe show for TU, proving that there is nothing they cannot do.... full review

THE BULLY PROBLEM

bob leggett · June 09, 2019 certified reviewer
Our first musical of HFF19 was a dream come true. Michael Gordon Shapiro (with the help of ASCAP and Broadway’s Stephen Schwartz) has created a masterpiece of energetic singing and dancing and a timely story about overcoming obstacles and becoming who you were meant to be. ... full review

Batter Up! My Brain on Baseball

Think of it like the close-up magic you see by the wandering magicians at the Magic Castle. This one is interactive and will have you cheering along, and there are prizes. ... full review

The Journey of The Little Prince

bob leggett · June 09, 2019 certified reviewer
Irina Kampa is quite simply a force of nature. If you attended any of the pre-Fringe Office Hours functions, you could not fail to notice her. She brings that same energy to this production, wonderfully written by Victor Sotomayor, which reminds us that every adult was once a child, but only a few remember. ... full review

Long-time Fringe veteran Matt Richey has mounted his best show ever, a show that would sweep the Tonys if it was on Broadway. It told the story that every stage manager has probably experienced at one time or another, and allowed said Stage Manager to say and do things they’ve always dreamed of doing.... full review
