SPENCER FRANKEBERGER certified reviewer June 16, 2017
Billed as an immersive cabaret experience, that's exactly what I got and more. There was so much that I loved about this--the voices, the arrangements, the humorous parody elements, and all the songs were so catchy--and I even found myself recognizing most songs right away and being very excited to hear the song that I about jumped out of my seat, jumped on stage, and started singing with them. Not to be missed!--super fun!... full review

I thoroughly enjoyed this show. The arrangement of the music is fantastic, the band is great, the vocals are stellar, and the use of the space is both dynamic and exciting. 2Cents is crushing it this year. GO SEE IT! And Charlie Moose, too!... full review

Psychosical takes the concept of the jukebox musical and infuses it with a high amount of energy and passion. Rather than just choosing random songs for laughs, all of the humor is earned with the characters on stage. For them, there's nothing funny about their situation. So we laugh, and then are moved by the slower moments. Funny, thought-provoking, and a blast to listen to, don't miss this one.... full review

This is the most entertaining Fringe show I have seen this year! I couldn't stop smiling through the whole thing. Great atmosphere, wonderful voices, hilarious yet dark subject matter.... full review

I'm not always a big fan of jukebox cabaret type shows, but I had a great time with the inmates at "Psychosical"! This talented cast of the 2 Cents Theatre Co. are the real deal, and took me on a crazy fun ride. Seriously incredible vocals. Seriously. Super fun direction. A killer band. And at its core, a big, beautiful heart. If you're looking for a raucous, rocking night at the Fringe (one you can drink through), what more could you ask for?... full review

This is one of those, "Why didn't I come up with this idea?" moments. A brilliant (yeah, brilliant) addition to some very inspiring cabarets at the Fringe this year. But to have popular songs from Broadway and the hit parade performed by the denizens of an asylum is not only genius, it's executed beautifully in a club where sightlines usually suck. Kristen Boulé not only arranged the imaginative vocals (with Juan Lozano), but inventively staged his Broadway-caliber performers in an immersive 360-degree experience of talented nuts.... full review

It was a well thought out show, catching a glimpse into the roller coaster ride of emotions of many 'patients' in this dynamic musical.... full review
MATTHEW ROBINSON certified reviewer June 23, 2017
A rockin' good time of a show. Filled with great songs, music and a fun theme to tie them all together you will laugh, tear up, smile, and nod your head along to this outrageously "crazy" good show!... full review

Best show of the 2017 Fringe! I was told there would be a few additional performances after the Fringe Festival ends. Do yourself a favor and see it!... full review
