My overall impression

A show built for the Fringe. It’s fun, and worth seeing just for Laura Sperrazza. All of the faults this play has, and there aren’t many, are all covered up by the inventive script. It is designed for the Fringe. So when the mics aren’t loud enough, or taped onto the actors’ faces correctly, or the band is playing too loud because they don’t have proper monitors, it’s all part of the show! It’s supposed to be like that! a kind of genius way to hide the flaws you know you’re going to have (10 minutes set-up before every show is kind of impossible for a musical, sound checking being the most crucial, and time-consuming part of it). Any flaw that may be there is made a brilliant part of the show as the cast just hangs a lantern on it and shows us why and it’s just brilliant. So many reasons to see this show. The cast is amazing, direction wonderful and a pretty perfect script for the circumstances.
