What I liked

I was expecting to see a “Fringe” show but
what I saw instead was a Broadway Show.
It was polished, well executed musical with great story telling
through the book and lyrics by Steve Vlasak. Mona Lisa Missing
was a joy to watch and one of the BEST SHOWS I have ever seen at Fringe. I am desperate to see it again. BRAVO!

My overall impression

When I went to see Mona Lisa Missing I was expecting to see
a “Fringe” show but what I saw instead was a Broadway Show.
It was polished, well executed musical with some lovely music
and great story telling through the book and lyrics by Steve Vlasak. The story was captivating and the characters were all delightful. The singers had strong, beautiful voices. Jordan Mullins (Lisa) was PHENOMENAL. In addition to a beautiful voice she had a sweetness and warmth that stood out and infused all her scenes with humanness and sincerity and was a perfect foil for the world weary Karl Decker played wonderfully by Chad Anderson. In general, the cast was great and were clearly having great fun performing. From script to casting to song to dance to costumes to orchestrating a live band on stage to individual and overall performance Mona Lisa Missing was a joy to watch. It is one of the BEST SHOWS I have ever seen at Fringe.
I am desperate to see it again. BRAVO!
