Review by ZACHARY BERNSTEIN

What I liked

Amanda Blake Davis is a goddamned national treasure.

What I didn't like

I saw a preview, but some songs could have been trimmed. (I’m not referring to the song sung by the kids from the future though. That one could add a few more steps!)

My overall impression

See it! The Planet Earth Farewell Concert operates on a Fringe budget, but has grand ambitions. It pulls off the trick of making you laugh and keeping you in good spirits while simultaneously presenting you with sobering, not funny realities. That’s not an easy thing to do.

In all my years of seeing Fringe shows, I’ve never seen a show take so many risks and pull off guerilla-style antics. For that alone I knew I was watching something special.
