What I liked
Some of the best talent I’ve ever seen at Fringe – how Lucas Alifano is able to perform so well in a full body fur suit WITH fake teeth I’ll never know, but he made me laugh out loud AND cry! Shelby Miguel’s incredible voice, Emerson Boatwright’s complete character commitment, Jeff Scot Carey’s straight man in an absurd world, Meghan Allison’s choreography… all this honors the fantastic book and lyrics, poignant story and wonderful message of love and acceptance.
What I didn't like
Think it could have been condensed a bit plot-wise but I also don’t want to lose any scenes or songs, they were so great!!
My overall impression
My favorite musical of this year’s Fringe! A delightfully wacky, profoundly heartfelt musical packed with jokes and catchy tunes (yes, I too will never get “Mud Dirt” out of my head) with sharp social commentary performed by an insanely talented cast. I have never felt so inspired by a Fringe show and could not recommend this one more!
