When watching the film last week, I repeatedly wondered how this story could be brought to the stage at Fringe. Annika Hoseth nailed it. The story unfolded beautifully with inventive twists. She leaned into the whacky, and it totally worked. The cast was ALL IN on stage with a level of joy that was infectious to the audience. It felt fresh, fun, and uninhibited. Lars Toler (Lewis) brought to life a tender and earnest performance with outstanding vocals. Danny Genfron (Bowler Hat Guy) was the ultimate comedic villain. And the rest of the cast - too many to name, each brought such personality, fun, and uniqueness to their roles. It also was a positively uplifting show with catchy piano accompaniment to tunes such as Keep Moving Forward. We should all be a little more like The Robinsons.
What I didn't like
No comments. Thoroughly enjoyed the premiere of this show and look forward to hearing about the rest of the run.
My overall impression
Genius adaptation!
You feel GREAT after attending this show!
