This show is a must see! Corey Lynn Howe excellently directs a very talented cast. Really fun and funny with some nice tender moments. ... full review

[Title of Show] is an amazing theatrical piece. You will laugh, cry, and then laugh again. It's filled with the meta humor that is they style these days with TV shows and movies. That's definitely not a bad thing. The actors bring you on a journey that you can't escape, nor do you want to. By the end of the show you want the best for these characters. You feel as if you helped them write their show just by being there. It's an amazing time and definitely worth checking out. Also, Larry is hilarious.... full review

There's something intrinsically charming about [tos] show within a show (within a show?) presentation - different than other meta-musical theatre works that have come before it. More heartfelt, more honest, this production highlights the beautiful highs and lows of a love affair with the theatre. Wonderful direction and a stellar cast. Not to be missed. ... full review

Last night, I had the pleasure of going to see Village Idiom Productions' collaboration with Theatre Unleashed's production of [title of show], and my friend Corey Lynn Howe's directorial debut. First things first: as close, personal friends with the Director, I'm so very happy for Corey in the sheer gritted-teeth willpower and determination to make something so amazing come to life, and to do it so well. If you know her, you know it's amazing to see her achieve something she so clearly loves and even more clearly excels at. But seriously, folks, about the show. [title of show] surprised the heck out of me with its (fast!) dialog and constant elbow-nudging hilarity. And I could go on all day about the "musical written by 2 guys about 2... full review

this is what you need to do: stop reading any more reviews about [title of show] right now and go buy your ticket - particularly if you know nothing about it and don't know any of the performers. i knew nothing about this piece when i walked into the Asylum on Saturday afternoon - definitely didn't realize it was a musical - nor did i know any of the performers, so i made some assumptions while watching it that made my experience emotional and uplifting in a way i did not anticipate. so stay as ignorant as you possibly can and i'm hoping you'll enjoy it as much as i did. i love the message of the piece over-all and thought the performances were effortless & flawless. whether you already know about it or not, see it, but especially if ... full review

Tremendous performer chemistry and a double reverse post-modern flip. Musical meta theater at its best. Very fun, very refreshing, very must-see. Yes, the male leads were fantastic, but the two female "supporting" characters were superbly executed. Exactly what a modern musical should be: less Sondheim, more honesty.... full review

So- if you didn't already see- there are 30 other reviews of this show and 29 of them love it. I could beat a dead horse, but seeing this show would be far more amusing. I highly recommend it:)... full review

I am a HUGE lover of musicals and this one does not disappoint. Contrary to most musicals that boast remarkable sets and lavish costumes, this show scales everything down to the bare minimum allowing the talented cast to shine - and shine they do! All 4 actors + keyboard player were perfectly cast and a pleasure to watch. Well done cast, crew & all involved with this show. I've been recommending it to everyone I run into!... full review
GAIL MATTHIUS certified reviewer June 11, 2013
I was unfamiliar with this show but really loved the fast paced dialog & energy of this maximally talented cast! The challenging vocals, harmonies & arrangements were handled with ease. And the killer physical comedy of the women especially. It's a combination of a play within a play, breaking the 4th wall and rapid fire inside theater jokes coming at you pell mell! Don't blink, swallow or move a muscle! You may miss something! Just don't miss (title of show)... full review

As a writer of a festival musical, [Title of Show] struck a particular chord with me. I hadn't listened to the soundtrack since beginning my own "festival medley," and the opportunity to see it live and in front of me at Fringe turned out to be a complete delight. With sharp staging, sparkling performances and a bright, clipping pace, the director and cast of Theatre Unleashed/Village Idiom's production gave both airy lightness and thoughtful gravity to the piece. They even buoyed the flaws in the material. The scenes and songs that describe the production - as opposed to the development - of the musical-within-a-musical never hold my attention as much as the earlier scenes and songs do, but with a cast this winning and talented, and a sh... full review
