KATHY FISCHER certified reviewer June 18, 2015
So smart. So sharp. So funny. The script crackled. The actors crushed it. I'd say, don't miss this one...but they have a sold out run! I'm feeling lucky to have snagged a ticket before they were all gone. They may add more shows or, if you're lucky, maybe they'll get an extension after the Fringe. So keep an eye out! ... full review
DYLAN RIS certified reviewer June 18, 2015
A stellar show from the first minute to the last. From the script to the performances to the direction to the costumes to the music, this was brilliantly done. One of my very favorite shows in 6 years of Hollywood Fringe Festivals. The initial run sold out, but I believe the producers are adding more shows. Try to make it to one if at all possible!... full review

This show is a must-see: witty, smart and with a depth that elevates the show way beyond the potential kitschiness of the premise. ... full review
SARAH WOLTER uncertified reviewer June 19, 2015
I just caught a "teaser" of this show at Pick of Fringe tonight, and I LOVED the 8 minutes I saw. I howled and cackled with laughter. In 4 octaves. Get your tickets, see this show.... full review

STEVEN STANLEY certified reviewer June 23, 2015
The Sound Of Music’s wry and witty Max Detwiler and the music agent’s wealthy, sophisticated gal pal Elsa Schraeder at long last get their hilarious fifty-five minutes of fame at Hollywood Fringe in Mason Flink and Lindsay Kerns’ deliciously clever-&-campy Max And Elsa: No Music. No Children. Click on “Original Article” to read my complete review at StageSceneLA.com... full review
MICHAEL VAN DUZER certified reviewer June 23, 2015
With Max and Elsa, playwrighting team Mason Flink and Lindsay Kerns have focused on the lives of no one’s favorite two characters from The Sound of Music. The play’s capsule description raises the specter of hairy nuns in drag and over-the-top camp humor which is better appreciated when imbibing your third dirty martini. But the big surprise is that the script is witty and well-written. Though, for the record, there is a nun in drag. You can read my full review at "original article."... full review

EDWARD GOODMAN certified reviewer June 26, 2015
They're on all the lists. All the reviews are raves. They won an extension. This is simply one of the stand out shows this year. It's clever and funny and fun and executed with such precision and glee. The Norton School knows what they're doing and it's great to watch. TOP THREE. Easily. ... full review
