My overall impression

It’s an absolute crime that this production only got three performances as it is easily best show I’ve seen at this year’s Fringe (technically it shares that honor with one other musical).

If there is any justice in this world it will get extended so you can all partake in the absolutely stunning voice that Liz Eldridge brings to the production, along with the exceptional instrumental skills that both Liz and the equally talented Clara Dykstra bring to the table.

The story is engaging and funny, the music and lyrics range from soft and beautiful to full blown bad-ass belts, and the entire production has a clean, sleek feel to it, a result of the roughly two years that Liz and Efrain Schunior have spent honing this piece of art.

Again, if this show gets extended, GO SEE IT! I cannot stress this enough.
