What I liked

Everyone in the show is super talented. The band is amazing and just a joy to experience. The singers are stellar, everyone has their own personal vibe that just works so well with one another. Great cast!

What I didn't like

This is for those seeing the show that might be shorter, there are a few moments where an actor may be laying on the stage floor and it is hard to see them. If you are someone who absolutely needs to see everything, sit up front! Otherwise everyone is mic’d and you can hear everything extremely well. This did not impact my viewing at all.

My overall impression

James Byous takes a poignant look at the highs and lows of alcohol consumption and how inebriated feelings can be like that of a superhero but there is an ultimate downfall. No drink, no power. There is some real heart and soul in this show and I can’t wait to see a non-fringe version.
