MARLA SACHS certified reviewer June 15, 2014
Another phenomenal production from Oddbird Theatricals. Bronies is a show for anyone who is a fan of anything and for people who don't understand fandom. It addresses effects of bullying, addresses some real-world events and highlights how accepting who you are, and accepting who others are brings positive changes. Original songs fit perfectly with the tone, which despite the heavy subject matter is a very light and fun show. Everyone should see Bronies: The Musical. Don't be a sad trombone!... full review

You can't help but smile through the entire show. Such an uplifting and fun story, complemented by fast paced, clever songs all song by a stellar cast with spot on vocals. The show may be sold out but it is worth stopping by to see if you can get on the waiting list!... full review

We enjoyed the show very much! It's very entertaining and also carries an important message about bullying and the richness life can have if we accept everyone for who they are. There are a lot of laughs in the show and the music is fantastic. I highly recommend it.... full review

A remarkably enjoyable experience. Imaginative use of minimalist sets along with a great "let's put on a show" attitude made for an extremely pleasant evening. The vehicle conveyed positive messages about many issues that trouble people today, young and old. But it never ceased to be entertaining. Kudos to all involved with this fun project.... full review

Fantastic show! My son (a bronie) and I sat in the front row and had a great time. Soooo funny and fun with a great message and lots of Pony. As a person who works in theater, and particularly musical theater, I very much appreciated the stylistic nods to an array of modern Broadway styles like Avenue Q and RENT. The Greek chorus was also a great and perfect addition. I particularly loved the "Sunday in the Park with George" reference. Well done :) I would very much like to see this show performed across the country and I WILL play Hank in at least one of those productions. I'm determined :)... full review

I loved Bronies! It was a blast..really heartfelt and so well done. The singing was AMAZING?.the cast had so much comedic talent as well.. Gabby Salanitro was outstanding ,..just hilarious and such great timing. I loved the characters Tyler and Paige..I think there numbers were really well written and so well performed. Also loved the song WEIRD! Go see it! Ps. Get some air conditioning or a fan up in that house please! That was truly tough on the audience and gosh the poor singers too! ... full review

Oh, Bronies, don't you ever change! This is a wonderfully enjoyable musical delving into the recent emergence of 'Bronies', dudes who love the (new) animated series, My Little Ponies. The show reads (watches) like an after school special about friendship, love and acceptance, but with a tongue-in-cheek, adult approach resulting in some very funny (and not safe for children) moments. The lyrics are catchy and upbeat, and the four women playing the ponies do excellent job of selling their peppy, super positive characters. The rest of the cast also does a great job, and I loved Joe Greene (who turns out is also the composer) in his supporting role as the comic book store owner. I did, however, have two issues with the production. ... full review

I am so very, very glad to have been able to catch this show. I don't think i could ever adequately convey just what an amazing experience this production is. Everything top to bottom was fantastic. As a "geek" I identified with a lot of what was presented leaving me with a great deal of emotion and satisfaction. There is a lot of truth and reality inside the fantasy and I so appreciate what is presented. I have experienced a lot of what these characters went through including the Principle/ Father situation. The only difference was he eventually saw the light. Mine is still an asshole. Congrats to Heidi, Tom, Joe and the whole cast and crew. Bravo.... full review
