A must-see for fans of comic book history, or just fans of great acting and writing! Seeing the Marvel bullpen brought to life was a nerd's dream come true! Surprisingly touching, and a fascinating exploration about the nature of authorship and creativity. You don't even need to know anything about comic books to enjoy this show. It's a remarkable accomplishment and an amazing night out at the theater. Josh Chamberlain is a real talent.... full review

Razor sharp. This show is ready to move into production onto a bigger stage right now. Josh is a titan of writing and directing. One of the very best things I've seen in general in a very long time. On par with other shows being produced around town. This is a cannot-miss show. Masterfully told, produced, and performed. ... full review

The Men Who Drew the Universe is an incredibly well produced show that marvels (pun intended) with its fantastic cast. With a well tuned, engaging, and entertaining script and great direction, its some of the fastest 90 minutes I've ever experienced. Make sure to check it out!... full review

DAVID LUCARELLI certified reviewer June 14, 2026
My favorite play I’ve seen this Fringe Fest, so far. It deftly captures the circumstances, the men and the moments that created the new American mythology of the modern superhero, both larger than life, and with feet of clay that continue to resonate world wide with millions. ... full review

ALANA WHITE certified reviewer June 13, 2026
Really funny and enjoyable play that gave an interesting overview of the origins of Marvel Comics. Although the play does not strictly adhere to historical fact it has a lot of fun with its interpretation and uses those liberties to fuel the humor without compromising the poignancy of the experience. Great acting all around and particularly from 'Stan Lee.' Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.... full review

DREW PETRIELLO certified reviewer June 13, 2026
A sharp, tight drama with no fat on the bones about the genesis of Marvel Comics that left me informed, yes, but more importantly, extremely entertained by this conga line of odd dudes who for better and worse helped shape the modern entertainment landscape ... full review
