The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: Extended Edition: Part 2

I had so much fun!!! It was so funny and as a huge fan of the movie it was dead on. One of my favorite shows I've seen at the fringe. Go see this show! I could've watched another hour of this. ... full review

A thoroughly enjoyable interpretation of the Lord of the Rings, minus the scenery, large cast. and special effects. All of these are replaced by Riley Smith acting out the scenes, while doing an incredibly thorough and oftentimes hilarious job of describing the movie action.... full review

I have never seen Lord of the Rings, and I am fully invested in this saga because of this show. The performance and the humor are so effervescent that I am having a blast -- especially because Riley is having a blast. The stamina alone is incredible. Well done!... full review

Performed with an uncanny mix of preparation and improvisation that makes you feel your wackiest friend has just leapt up from the sofa after indulging in various mood-enhancers and decided to tell you the entire plot of his favorite movie. I saw this at the end of a day when I had already seen three shows and driven back and forth across the westside, the valley and Hollywood, and all my fatigue melted away in an instant. What a fun way to complete the theatre-going day!... full review

Laughter from start to finish. Riley has a great sense of comedic timing and charismatic stage presence. As someone who doesn't particularly enjoy the LOTR films, I can recommend to those that share the same sentiment to not let that be a barrier for you to consider. Riley does a fantastic job of interpreting and adapting the source into a hilarious event. For fans of the movies, I do think they will be even more appreciative of the show, as some of the moments do tend to feel like an inside joke. Regardless, this show is a blast and I'd definitely recommend it if it fits into your schedule and you want a good laugh.... full review

The Lord of the Rings: . . . Extended Edition: Part two was fun. Riley Smith is Gandalf and his retelling of Peter Jackson’s filmic masterpiece made me smile and laugh. With the audience providing the film’s well-known soundtrack, we were made part of the story and enjoyed sharing Smith’s adventure.... full review

What a joyride! Riley presents a real labor of love, managing to parody LOTR while faithfully quoting and describing it--and even adding a little deep context about cameos and behind the scenes knowledge! Doesn't matter how well you know Lord of the Rings, I promise you'll love this!... full review

This show was such a fun way to wrap up the first weekend of the festival! As someone who saw Lord of The Rings more times than anyone should have seen it in movie theaters (13 times!), this was such a delightful nod to the movie, the story and the love for the characters. If you enjoyed the movie, you will love this recap, complete with stage combat, music and a costume! Don't miss your chance to accompany Frodo on the start of his ring bearer journey! ... full review

A truly hilarious retelling of a retelling of Lord of the Rings. Riley Smith is very funny and I loved the Gandalf costume.... full review

Amazing. Entertaining. A must see show. ... full review
