Alien Vs. Musical

While I can't say I got bored, the show by nature is redundant, and the tunes aren't so clever that it made my ears prick up. The hardworking cast is having a blast (I especially liked Annie), but there's an amateurish quality that keeps this Fringebound for life. Yes, it's all silly fun, but my god what this show could be with more depth of story and character development. No one will be disappointed by seeing it.... full review

The standout is Allie Costa as Annie. See it for the fun of it but without high performance expectations and you’ll have a great time. It’s perfect Fringe material.... full review

Hilarious and dark in the best possible way. A MUST SEE at Fringe!!! ... full review

Last year’s must #SeeItLA, "Alien Vs. Musical" returns with a 90 minute full-length version. The music and lyrics are masterfully composed by Erik Przytulski, for example the first song performed by Harold (Nick Emmett McGee) of "The Music Man" could have been a trunk song (a song that didn’t make a production’s final cut) written by Meredith Willson – if the subject matter wasn’t about aliens. The creature design by Steve Troop is just as magical as last year. Plus, the book written by Przytulski and Troop shows a deep understanding of musicals and makes a hilarious parody. All of this makes this a #SeeItLA, again, if you like musicals or have a little bit of knowledge about them. Like last year, you do not need to have seen "Alien" to e... full review

Very Funny. Great musical numbers. Great puppets!... full review

Everything is calm, even perfect in Musical-land. All your favorite Broadway characters including, Elpheba, Annie, Maria, Danny Zuko and many others live in perfect harmony, literally. It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Elder Price from Book Of Mormon gets the life sucked out of him by a Xenomorph, from Alien. Wait, what did you just say? You heard right. This is Aliens Vs. Musical. After taking home the audience voted Best Musical Award at last year’s Hollywood Fringe, AvM returns with an extended version promising more gags, songs and fun. For me, it just went on a little too long. Annie, played by Allie Costa, is beyond superb. A knockout performance. She fully encapsulates the character with more truth and cut than any ot... full review

Alien Vs. Musical is a really fun show with great music and a unique story. It's so neat to see so many beloved musical theatre characters on stage at the same time. Allie Costa is perfectly cast as Annie and puts her all into the role. It is worth seeing this show for her phenomenal performance alone!... full review

I LOVED this show and want to see it graduate from Fringe. A few minor tweaks and it's ready for a full out production. Well done and thanks for a great night out!... full review

Awesome cast, crew, and musicians. Well done! I hope it is extended!... full review

Last year's Fest favorite is back, intact but 43% longer, the better to bolster it's (off-off-)Broadway ambitions, with a new side-trip to THE WEST SIDE STORY and a soupcon of HAMILTON. It will probably delight Musical Theater wonks on the Other Coast next month, although it's still a slender, one-dimensional thread on which to hang some spiffy song parodies of Broadway icons. It's lucky to have a uniformly splendid cast (especially ALLIE COSTA as a beleaguered ANNIE). The Main Miscalculation is a wild overuse of chemical smoke---a pointless nuisance, without warning---which swamps the stage and saturates the sinuses of the audience all evening long! Why? ... full review
