What I liked

Courageous content. Fun parody of season one of GOT. Liked the music, like the esthetic feel of the cast. Loved the costumes, the sword fights, and anecdotes.

What I didn't like

The music playing over the sound system in the space sometimes was too loud to hear the lyrics, which is a parody show are important. Cat Stark’s big number, which seemed exquisite in both it’s content and difficulty was lost. Additionally, and this is a spacial note, wanted the actors to project a bit more and be more confident, as it is a musical, and like my musicals to snap more. I also understand that putting this show together for fringe is a huge difficult endeavor with limited time and resources. So despite this long box of notes, they did not detract from my enjoyment.

My overall impression

Go see it. Definitely worth it for the laughs and a wonderful cast.
