ANTONIA STEFFENS certified reviewer June 21, 2013
Well done for transforming such dense matter into a musical. It absolutely worked ! Brilliant timing in performance, good voices, balanced with great musicians (especially the keyborder) and rounded up with intriguing details using a turned around chair as time machine! Loved it.... full review

Quite an ambitious project for a Fringe show. Huge cast, live four piece band, and lots of story and songs in under an hour. Very well staged by Joshua Farden to have maximum impact with mimimal set and props, etc. ... full review

Altman has created a beautiful piece of theater and has adapted it for the Fringe with the help of director Joshua Fardon, effectively turning a two-hour musical into a one-hour revue. In addition, Altman is quite effective as William Parke, the eccentric inventor of the time machine. The assembled cast is quite remarkable, creating a true ensemble. However, several of them did stand out in their performance. Besides Altman, I was most impressed with two of the Eloi, Tara Price and Tara Raucci, as well as Argonauts/Morlocks James Hanna and Jonathan Grey. Although this is a workshop, which is getting better with every run, I have no trouble believing that it will make an incredible musical when all the parts get added back in.... full review

JOHANNE BORUM certified reviewer June 29, 2013
I went to see this play to support my son, Jeremy Borum, who played the keyboard. I had no idea what to expect and was happily surprised by it. It was delightful! The props were minimal but perfectly adequate to get the message across (great use a chair for a time machine!). I also thought the song writing quite good and the actors/singers did the songs and the story justice. I was impressed by the volunteer talent and would see these people act again. I enjoyed my evening very much. This play made me want to see more of these types of productions.... full review
MARIANA WILLIAMS certified reviewer August 11, 2013
I loved how this ambitious story was told with no props--just chairs, talent and commitment by the cast to lock into future and past worlds. It drew me and my friends in--and we stayed there with them. Steve Altman was brilliant as an actor and singer and the music was catchy and conveyed the mood at all times.... full review
