My overall impression

SO GOOD. I attended the first preview this past Saturday, and it is arguably the best show I’ve seen at the Fringe so far!! This story hit home for me on many levels, and I think anyone who has survived high school will recognize the characters on stage—either as friends you had, friends you wished you had, or you might even recognize yourself. You are there with them—you are in the middle of the madness and the joy and the pain they are representing so beautifully on stage, and the tragedy is that there’s nothing you can do to help. I was so enthralled, that at moments I felt compelled to yell out “No!” and “Stop!” several times. I left the theatre in tears. This show is beautifully written, choreographed, acted and directed. And the soundtrack is pretty epic. :) GO SEE SHOW NOW!!!
