ALLI MILLER certified reviewer June 15, 2018
Floored. All the endless hours of work that were poured into this production paid off! Every track was different and I've heard so many wonderful things from the other said tracks, but for me: I would follow Lyle into the dark. His understanding of his words was flawless. Cyanne was more than captivating. She touched my soul. Kevin and Damon were so damn good aaaand their fight choreo was so believable I was actually worried a couple times. Carl was perfectly heartbreaking. The text was perfectly placed and split up. 2cents killed it. ... full review

I loved it and want to do it again! It was a wonderful experience. Physically I had some issues with keeping up with the pace. Very well executed and one of the best experiences I've ever had in a theater production. I spoke with one of the creators afterwards; she advised that there are over 20 different scenarios. Just go...it's enthralling. ... full review

Stunningly ambitious, this inventive immersive piece features a surprising amount of interaction with a large number of characters as the play unfolds. Unfortunately, convoluted language and story undermine an enthusiastic cast and makes it nearly impossible to care about anyone by the end.... full review

Easily the most ambitious Fringe project I've ever seen. This company took on a monumental task and took a monumental risk, and for me, it absolutely paid off. The show is not completely free of problems (and I'm glad I waited to give them a week of performing before I attended), but the strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. HIGHLY recommended.... full review

HOLY CRAP! I had so much fun! It reminded me of "Delusion". I loved playing along with the actors. The plot lines toed the line of "escape room" and "role-playing" very well. I could go on for pages. I will do my best to see it again. AMAZING work cast and crew. Also- I definitely got in my cardio that night! Sensible shoes were a good thing to recommend.... full review

This show is a once in a lifetime experience. I’ve never been to a show like this. I felt truly transported into an alternate reality. It really felt like I was an active participant in what was unfolding in front of me. ... full review

Unreal City was totally engaging. I loved being part of a fantasy that felt dangerous and fun Simultaneously. The characters were believable in their own surreal way. I enjoyed the emmersive quality of having my own unique experience and following the story as I chose. The poetry was sometimes a bit challenging but I liked it. ... full review
