What I liked
The crowd participation and prop comedy provide consistently hilarious high points, but it’s Riley Smith and Cole Cuomo’s chemistry and commitment that take this show from madcap improv class to a whole other level of collaborative live performance.
What I didn't like
It’s hard to suggest improvements for a show that so throughly thrives on its own chaos. Often derailed, but always up for the challenge, it’s as much fun to watch Smith and Cuomo scramble to hold it all together as it is when they completely pull it off.
My overall impression
Yet another mind-bending renovation of Riley Smith’s Peter Jackson’s Tolkien classic. Missed the last 3? No worries, mate! Jump in here! Think you already know what happens? Fool of a Took! Smith and Cuomo prove they are still tricksy hobbitses with a few surprises that even Sauron’s great eye couldn’t see coming. Whether you’re a 1 or a 10 on the LOTR fan scale, there is something for everyone in this inventive comedic exploration.
