This was a last minute decision to watch while a few actors in our show had a few drinks at Fringe Central. And we were happy we checked it out! It's the performances that carried this show. The lead actress had a great charm and beauty about her that made this production very engaging. It was very believable that she would play with her male love interests heart the way she did. The lead actor also had a great unique interpretation of character. The strong accents embraced by both actors was also very interesting. It's a quick show and very much worth the free tickets! It's for sure a must see! ...

There seem to be more 'legit' plays at Fringe this year,which is great.This was a great production.Both actors had obviously worked very hard in rehearsals,and it paid off..Marlies Bauer Bell captivated from the moment she entered until curtain call.
Zach Fouche had a very difficult and complex character to live in.I felt he struggled a bit in the first scene,but grew into a powerful performance thereafter.
Highly recommend this exceptionally well directed play...

“The Owl and the Pussycat” was written by Bill Manhoff and opened on Broadway in 1964. It was made into a film in 1970 starring Barbra Streisand and George Segal.

A strong showcase of the actors talents that deserves it's praise. Both actors are ones I would seek out to see more of their work as they bring an energy and talent level that is always appreciated on the stage. This is a wild story that is anchored by top notch acting....

The Owl and the Pussycat provided great entertainment for the small theater scene in LA. The actors were extraordinary and made this show light and quite humorous. All in all the scenes flowed well and kept my interest throughout. Great Production - Bravo!...

Fantastic, hilarious and captivating. Not a boring or false moment even within the absurdity of the plot. I could not stop watching, it was riveting. Could not take my eyes off the players. It moved fast and was completely captivating! I loved this modern interpretation! Todd Felderstein is an amazing, gifted director. ...
