LEGIT! Conor Hanney has basically created a genre with his topical hip-hop musicals. Last year's Fringe smash hit Divorce was poignant, hilarious and entertaining, and this year's Best Buddies did not disappoint.

Such a heart-warming and fun show to watch. All of the performers were so talented and the songs were really fun! I really love this concept for a musical, and I hope they continue the show past Fringe because I think it's a great show that should be shared with an even larger audience.... full review

This show is a must see. Conor Hanney knocks it outta the park again. Fast paced and funny. What a great way for artistic expressions of people with different abilities to help everyone explore, embrace, and celebrate the diversity of our shared human experience. I will see it again.... full review
