I enjoyed this show immensely and I highly recommend it. An emotional moving experience and visually attractive show. Also, thought provoking as in for example with the symbolism behind every color. The humor humanized the often harsh conditions that people with Aspergers syndrome or autism face. It is also hopeful and a reminder that in the end we're all trying to make a human connection or simply communicate clearly with others. ... full review

So LOVELY and BEAUTIFUL!! I felt that it was a very thoughtful and original show that captured human introspection. I felt that I could connect with both the characters through their journey as they sought to connect with each other despite their own limitations. Would happily see again!!! This is what Fringe is all about! ... full review

Breathtaking. In the context of Fringe this show does a stellar job putting up a quick and stunning theatrical experience. It's worth the ticket price and more, and complete in and of itself, but it was SO good I wish it had a second act. The actors are perfect, the direction and script are lovely. I'm still thinking about this show two days later, especially as a nanny for a child who is on the edge of the spectrum- the depiction of autism and how it varies from person to person is wonderful- the production team has done an impressive job of showing instead of telling- the topic is tricky and nuanced and it is handled carefully and boldly in this awesome new play.... full review

The music and dancing were first rate, and moved the story along nicely. It was so easy to get swept up in this show,, which is definitely one of the best productions of HFF18. This one deserves recognition at the awards, and another run.... full review

Recommended. A wonderful analogy between theatre and the autism spectrum.... full review
