What I liked

Loved the singing performances of Geri, Asia, Sashaaa, and Olga. They nailed it in every aspect with their parts. The story was fun overall and was enjoyable.

What I didn't like

The run time for sure, (which I’m positive would be taken care of before the opening) and some of the choreography was noticeably out of sync. Again, it’s the preview so things like that can happen but hopefully gets worked on. The only other thing is that some of the ensemble wasn’t projecting with their singing, so at times it was tough to understand what was being said over the music and I was sitting close to the front. I can only guess what those in the back were able to hear.

My overall impression

The performances were great, and they have some very talented actors. I saw the preview show, which went way long, but overall it was a fun show. Once Fringe starts in earnest and the kinks are worked out, this will be a strong show.
