Review by BENJAMIN SCHWARTZ

June 04, 2018 certified reviewer

What I liked

That cosmo song and the cosmo I was drinking. That was tasty af.

What I didn't like

Really wanted some of these songs to be longer.

My overall impression

Killer cast. Great singers. Catchy tunes. Self-aware. Plus, the instrumental accompaniment was at the perfect volume level so that you could discern and laugh at the cleverly crafted and witty lyrics.

I imagine that knowledge of the source material would only escalate the comedic intensity, but I’ve never seen an episode of Sex and the City and I didn’t miss one punchline. Filled with laugh out loud moments driven by many of the character’s utter foolishness.

Hooray for ‘Fair Use’ laws — this is a totally fun parody that will be a welcome addition to many fringer’s schedule.
