Big Maestro & Little Cello Boy

Big Maestro is a perfectly twisted take on the amorphous nature of art-making and the torture, randomness, and absurdity of perfectionism. Secretly a legitimate horror show, I often felt like I was trapped inside a Bergmanesque dream sequence. Funny, unsettling, and psychologically precise, it lingers long after it's over. ... full review

Funny, weird, beautiful, one of a kind by exceptional performers. ... full review

A wonderfully chaotic and twisted (in a good way) show that delivers big laughs through strong character work, excellent physical comedy, and a surprisingly impressive display of musicianship. The chemistry between the performers is excellent, and the absurd world they create is a joy to spend time in. Loved this show so much!!... full review

An externalization of the experience a young artist has at the hands of an unpredictable and abusive mentor. Hilarious, dark, physical, vulnerable. And totally unpredictable. I felt WATCHED during this show, as if I was in the cellist's chair. Fantastic. ... full review

Damn but this show had me laughin' AND enjoying the Cello. It's really great and really funny.... full review

Loved bringing in an incredibly talented cellist to be a part of a clown show! And Alex is of course so engaging and funny. The "story" was simple and easy to understand, and lots of fun along the way!... full review

What a delightful romp through a demented brain on the quest for perfection. Alex and Peter feel game for anything and giddy to guide us on they're quest. ... full review

I wish it were longer. It was a joy to be in that space, hanging on every word. The brilliant dialogue, musicianship, and sound work came together in a delicious explosion of existential silliness – all culminating into a triumphant climax.... full review

I greatly enjoyed this fun and zany performance!... full review

Such a stupid show with a stupid premise and stupid performances. Big Maestro is just cranking out one-liners the whole show like no one's business, and Little Cello Boy earnestly incredible reaction work. He barely spoke but I was rooting for him of course. And then I mean the Cello is amazing. ... full review
