ANDY KENAREKI certified reviewer June 07, 2017
The Cherrys have taken it to another level with this show. Yes, you'll still get the sexy/hilarious/bawdy musical numbers and characters but it's definitely their darkest show yet. Anyone who can combine burlesque, musical theater, and social commentary into one neat package is A-ok in my book. It's a must-see! ... full review

Every aspect of this show was executed with stunning attention to detail and dynamic talent. The costumes, lights, singers, dancers, music and writing come together in a beautiful way. This was my first Fringe show, and the best hour or so Ive had at the festival! ... full review

The show was fantastic. If you haven't seen it- you need to. It was an absolute blast. I couldn't stop laughing the entire time. The cast was incredible. There wasn't a weak link. Tyler Olshansky specifically killed it. I suggest you go and see this immediately. Like Shakespeare? You'll love this. Like burlesque? You'll love this even more. ... full review

Shakespeare would have loved it. truly. from the bawdiness to the use of current songs known by the audience....not unlike tricks the bard himself used...... full review

I was expecting to be amused by this production, what I wasn’t expecting was to legitimately enjoy myself. There is a loose plot to drive the action forward, but really you go to this show for the singing and the dancing. In that respect, this show does not disappoint. The dancing is crisp, engaging and fun to watch. However, a word from the wise, show up early enough to get an unobstructed view of the stage. Any of the seats against the wall will result in the viewer straining to see around the audience members in front of them. This is not a failing of the production itself, just the layout of the venue. The song selection is fun, and just about anyone who goes will have a laugh out loud moment at least once when they realize what song is ... full review

Oh how I love me some Cherry Poppins! I honestly can't remember the last time I've had this much fun at a Fringe show (well, probably the last time I saw CPP, heh!). Seriously, if you have not yet had the pleasure of experiencing this phenomenal company, do yourself a favor and RUN don't walk to Three Clubs to see their next performance! This clever take on the Bard is brilliant, and I love the different intertwining storylines, the comedy and the twist at the end! Not to mention the incredible dancing, singing and acting--this show has it all! A truly amazing sight to see! ... full review

Cherry Poppins hit another home run with this show, this time adding even more layers of depth and a whirling sense of "what world did they just transport me to??!" Witty and wonderful, the writing in this show kept me smiling in my seat. Not only do they showcase beautiful strong women with graceful choreography and unexpected, eclectic and artful song choices, but also do the leading men standout in this production with their sheer talent and comedic timing. The Poppins crew blends the best of entertainment seamlessly, time and time again, this time showcasing gorgeous Shakespearean costumes, subtle & smart references, and new delightful cast members. I recommend this show because of its bold and successful binding of acting, dance, music,... full review
