The musical numbers were amazing! I think the show was really well-paced, and the scenes, although lower in energy than the musical numbers, were extremely funny. They also very cleverly wove flashbacks and transitions for joke setups into the dialogue. The show made great use of the space and lights.
What I didn't like
The lighting was a bit too dark at points, and some cues misfired, but I imagine this will improve as the run continues.
My overall impression
MAGIC MIC was a total blast! Sam and Frankie have the kind of onstage chemistry that can only be born of a special kind of comedic synergy between collaborators who are also close friends. It is absolutely hilarious and has a little bit of everything: musical numbers, friendship drama, and a truly shocking finale. I will be quoting this show with my friends forever. The show is jam-packed with energetic humor and clever setups, but is also not afraid to slow down and take its time to explore the characters of Sam and Frankie. It is a really genuine exploration of friendship and the transition from college to the real world, with an overarching message that would encourage any twenty-something to follow their dreams and pursue comedy with the people they love. This is a can’t-miss experience, especially because it is so short! It runs at under 45 minutes, and I could have watched another 45! GO SEE MAGIC MIC!
