What I liked

Incredibly talented cast, each member of the ensemble shines in one moment or another, but perhaps shine the most as a unit. Wonderful movement, choreography; not a moment on stage is wasted by director Liz Lanier. The same can be said about her script, as it packs a very relevant issue of water shortage and crisis into a reimagining of Greek myth, and wraps it all around very human characters and inspiring storytelling.

Though the entire cast is amazing, James Ferrero’s energy as Tiresias and Jetta Juriansz beautiful voice and performance do stand out, as well as very strong performances from Alexa Giuffre as Hera, Jenapher Zheng as Grace, and Ben Horwitz as Narcissus.

What I didn't like

Perfect.

My overall impression

A beautifully written, staged, and performed musical, Narcissus & Echo will tug at the heart strings, will entertain and delight, and will leave a lasting impression.

Incredible ensemble cast, wonderful original music, a must watch for Hollywood Fringe or anywhere in the world should it be available.
