This is such a beautiful slice of life play about themes that are deeply existential — it takes very talented writing to pull that off as well as this team has! The chemistry between the actors was some of the best I’ve seen at Fringe this year. I teared up by the end — what a poignant and achingly beautiful love letter to platonic friendships. Go watch this!... full review

There's nothing like seeing two talented performers transform their lifelong friendship into art on stage, supported by the heartwarming and funny storytelling of their equally talented writer Eli. Even with one of them being a ghost, the trials and tribulations the characters face throughout their relationship feel very alive. This play emphasizes the painfully beautiful truth that while you may move on after the death of someone you love, they will never be forgotten. And that a goodbye can be a hello again in the thereafter, and that's something worth holding on to. ... full review

The idea of being haunted by your best friend. It's more complex than it appears, and Goodbye. Hello. is a beautiful analysis of the dichotomy. Dynamic performances, sure-handed direction, and a hilarious and moving script make this a wonderful Fringe entry.... full review

TOM SZYMANSKI certified reviewer June 16, 2026
I am in love with this show. To watch these two friends, one a ghost and refusing to face much of the reality of that, and the other dealing with all the complications of still being alive (and trying to hide your ghost nest friend) is such a pleasure. Their relationship and the chemistry was tremendous and completely believable. It left me feeling so grateful for the people I'm closest in my life and I left at ease with the thought of being able to see them again some day. A thought that I had long abandoned, and this show gave me hope. Thank you. A must-see.... full review
