Lemon Boots

WHAT A FABULOUS SHOW! Lemon Boots is a masterpiece of movement. It is visually stunning. You are drawn into and feel apart of their world. The ensemble cast does an amazing job. They are so connected and present. Such beautiful movements. And I love the fact that I was able to form my own thoughts and take whatever feelings I wanted to from the show. Not being told exactly what you should think or feel, isn't that refreshing! This show is so creative and unique. It's physical theater at its best. A must see! ... full review

I liked how much the cast was into it. Too bad I wasn't. I go to be entertained, not to get yelled at and dragged out of my seat so the audience can be entertained at my expense.... full review

I was blown away by this piece. An hour of movement turned into art. Each segment was visually arresting, completely captivating and always surprising. An amazing achievement by a huge young cast and creative team. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. ... full review

Lemon Boots is a breath of fresh air. It's a fantastic show with beautiful symbolism and images. I loved the simplicity of the story and how no plot was strongly being pushed in this production of the show. It was lovely seeing how they (the ensemble of artists) had to be inventive with their set and technical side. The only major pieces of criticism that I had are very small and sometimes out of their control. I wanted more from the production value, as in the lights and design of the set. Again, that is out of their control. Its fringe. The show isn't perfect: that's the beauty of the show. My last piece of criticism is the polishing of a few moments here and there. There were some beautiful sharp and clean moments but some just needed ... full review

Lemon Boots was an enjoyable production, and I think I can best describe it as a theatrical exploration. The plot isn't as important as the experience and the feelings that come up as one watches. Segments of it could have used a little more polish, but the parts that were successful (and there are many) left me fully immersed and filled with a childlike sense of wonder that was more than worth the ticket price. One thing that I wish could have had more work put into was that the choreography and/or movement to music was off at times- it wasn't always in tune or on beat, which dulled some potentially impressive moments. Also, I really would have liked to see more movement informed by the music, and all the different instruments and intric... full review

Being a Theatrical Competition Judge for more than 10 years allows me to look at theatrical pieces from a deeper perspective and review on a more critical level than the average person. Although the theater was a little warm during the midday, Lemon Boots was truly an amazing show! I haven't seen something like this in quite a while. The ensemble put so much passion, energy, and talent into this show! Their connection to each part of the show and with each other was very strong. The variety of music, physical movement, and choreography was exceptionally creative and appealing. I brought two children with me to see the show, not knowing if it was something they would enjoy due to their ages, but they absolutely loved it, especially the shadow... full review

LEMON BOOTS is bold. While I struggled to place the show as physical theatre or dance theatre, this large cast of talented artists really give their all, engage the audience, and cushion the confusion of plot with surprising physical feats. I highly recommend adding this to your calendar. It is a very enjoyable experience.... full review

I had no expectations going into this show, but I wasn't surprised to discover afterwards that it was workshopped in a college class. It looks like a college class - in that some parts don't seem as polished as others, and there's no real cohesive structure or theme. That said, there are some really lovely moments of choreography and imagery, and the performers clearly give it their all (one dude in a particular is a phenomenal acrobatic dancer - I wish they'd utilized him more). I liked the music quite a bit. I could have done without the audience participation - it's unnecessary and not always clear what they want you to do, which lends to some dull moments of confusion and anxiety. Forcing the audience onto the stage to dance at the end w... full review

This is a visual spectacle. The show allows the audience to create their own story. Audience members are engaged because they create their interpretation of the story rather than given a specific story line. It is a new way for actor/audience interaction. But at times the piece was to abstract and became visual entertainment rather than an interpretive story.... full review
