Such a lovely piece. The songs were very original, ranging from comedic to dramatic in a seamless fashion. Laura Jo Trexler embues such a passion in each song, and isn’t afraid to get performative with each one. One of the more original Fringe pieces I’ve seen, I can’t recommend it highly enough.... full review

Laura Jo is so beautifully talented! She's taken these characters that we all know well and breathed a new life into them, rounding them out, and giving them each a voice and point of view that we don't normally hear. Her songs are catchy, her new lyrics are so fun, and I loved hearing Shakespeare's words put to music. Laura Jo sings, plays, and acts each character so well and really transforms herself in each song.... full review

Very creative musical summation of Shakespeare's female characters in their own voices. A tour de force performance by Laura Jo Trexler.... full review
CHRISTOPHER PIEHLER certified reviewer June 17, 2018
This show bills itself as a romp, and that is spot on. The songs are funny, sexy, sad, and in the case of Lady M, terrifying. Play On is a testament to the power of one woman and a piano.... full review
