A Feast of Snacks

This show is a big silly blast. I've seen various versions of these mini-musicals (and was even in one), but this production is probably definitive. I laughed a ton, even knowing what was coming. That's thanks to smart writing and an energetic, creative cast. Everyone gets a chance to shine, and every single line is played for all it's worth.

Director Julia Plostnieks hits all the right notes with her staging and Lindsay Braverman’s choreography is full of spunk. Theatre Unleashed brings a h... full review
