What I liked

The pacing was great, the staging was fantastic, loved the use of the wings and the various boxes to keep it dynamic. Good use of the projection screens and superb performance. Incredibly moving

What I didn't like

nothing!

My overall impression

Listen. Usually nothing sends me concocting an elaborate story about food poisoning than when someone says “Hey! Come to my one woman Fringe show about my dead hoarder mom.” But “Ice Cats” is an absolute joy and breath of fresh air. Alli Miller-Fisher expertly tows the line between heartbreak and genuine side splitting laughter in this wonderfully tight, smart and unbelievably moving romp. The writing and direction are exceptional, not a moment is wasted and Alli’s performance is one for the books. I want “Mom was a Fucking Hoarder” on commemorative vinyl.
