What I liked

So much! The Video Games is such a fun show and they’ve done really well at keeping it fresh and adaptable as the show has gone on. I’ve seen it before and it always makes me laugh. ALSO I literally know nothing about video games. The costumes are fun and their take on each character keeps it entertaining. I love how it always seems that the actors on stage are just having a good time. And of course, I love to tweet.

What I didn't like

The pacing of Zelda and the rest of the game makers felt off and really brought the energy down after you just saw all the fun combat. Also, some the characters spoke really softly and dropped their voice at different lines. And in a show that’s written as fun as this one, you wanna have no problem in hearing it all!

My overall impression

SO MUCH FUN. Seriously it’s an easy hour and a half to sit through. If you haven’t seen it before or maybe haven’t seen it since last Fringe, go again.

Quick Audience Tip: Don’t be afraid to tweet your heart out during the show and yell for the characters!!! This is so clearly meant to be interactive with the audience. Cheer and boo people!
