I’d really like to see this as a lounge show with dancers & over-the-top sets. But, the limitations of the venue and Fringe format make that prohibitive. Perhaps a future iteration?
My overall impression
Gratitusical is the sub-text from every over-indulgent, self-serving cabaret act you’ve ever seen shouted out loud for all to hear. The writing and performance are polished to a gleaming sheen and when going off-script Rebecca Larsen’s improv is razor sharp. Richard Levinson’s songs run the gamut from plain silly to practically doctoral in their lyrical erudition. Taken together, Levinson and Larsen are a comedic powerhouse that’s difficult to top.
