What I liked

The show is a delightful mix of dark comedy in a scientific setting. Setting the scene, starting with a mysterious chest, a clown of science and an unwitting Victorian time traveler.

I loved the pace of the show, the fast paced comedy was exciting and gripping.

I was pleasantly surprised by this show at the fringe. What I thought would be a an explanation of science theory was so much more!

The story arc was faultless, the dialogue was spot on, the comedy element was so enjoyable I relished the setup and execution. the added element of audience interaction was fantastic. It had magic and wonder from start to finish.

What I didn't like

A few more lighting states for the MHC maybe punchier sound, maybe a brief glimpse into the past but it was delightful as it was.

My overall impression

What happens when you step over the event horizon? If he switches that machine on, will I collapse in on myself? All these were important and pertinent questions when I stepped into the Dory Theatre at The Complex.

I was immersed into a scientific experiment. I didn’t know what to expect, or the significance of the citrus based fruit but all was soon to become clear on this joyous journey.

The Universe 101 takes you on a journey of time space, magic, with audience participation that ended in a wonderful denouement worthy of Poirot!

it was entertaining throughout and in my opinion the best show I’ve seen to date at this years Hollywood Fringe Featival.

I finally now know why Schrödinger was at the same time a cat person and not a cat person!

Joyous from start to finish! What a ride!
