My overall impression

I’m sorry, but Pauline Adamek’s review of this performance posted below is definitely from a lady who walked out just MINUTES into the performance—very disruptively I might add. The show takes a bit to really get started, but then draws you in more and more. The only thing that sucked about Saturday night’s performance (hence the only 4 stars for Effectiveness), was that Fringe Central was hosting a VERY loud live band karaoke party just outside the door to the theater. It must have been impossible to concentrate on performing with badly sung Elton John tunes wafting through the door. Otherwise, the show was very cool, though it lacked the mugging and clowning around of most of the shows at Fringe Central, which tend towards the, shall we say, lighter side.
