Bronies: The Musical was a great time! I wasn't expecting to laugh so much, but we had a blast! The cast had tons of energy and it was a silly, fun romp. We especially liked Joe Greene's clever lyrics...our favorite was the Mom's song about how it's ok for her son to "polish his--Would you stop, Mom?!?" sung with perfect comic timing by Gabby Sanalitro. Super clever! ... full review

Such an entertaining, fun show! I have never seen "My Little Pony" before, but that didn't matter at all. The songs are amazing and the cast is incredible. Lots of laughs too. I think this is one of the best shows that Fringe has to offer this year. Go get tickets and see this original, creative masterpiece! ... 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

I knew nothing about Bronies going into this show so I wasn't sure what to expect. It turned out to be a delightful, heartwarming musical performed by a gifted cast under the guidance of a talented director. The music and lyrics were also quite wonderful! I highly recommend this show!... 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

Wow, what a great time! Funny and endearing. The four ponies create wonderful harmonies in each of their songs, and every cast member brings something special the stage. A must see!... full review

Whether you're a closet-Bronie, and out-and-proud one, or someone (like me) who'd never even heard the term before, you'll find yourself smiling from beginning to end at the sweetness of this charming show -- and the heartful exuberance evidenced by the cast. That it also manages to impart a message of tolerance and good will is only an extra ribbon on its sparkly mane. Kudos to all involved.... full review

Loved this show! So fun and funny!! The lyrics to the songs were very smartly written. (ROTFL pronounced Roffell was my favorite!) The show is also very well cast. The characters really grew on me. I wanted to hug everyone at the end! I hope this team keeps turning out the awesomeness!! I'll see every show they make!... full review
