What I liked

Just about everything! Meta-fun. The audience was engaged and even gave standing ovations. A spoof of the process of creating a Fringe show that appealed even to me, I have never run a theater show anywhere— though I have acted and enjoyed I have not gone through any of the delusions disasters or delights of actually creating and being in charge of a show. I still reacted to it though it seems those with stage management or show creation experience were really laughing their kishkes off. Good comedic pacing, splashed with music, accents, assorted exuberance, the show works on many levels.

What I didn't like

In life, in this country, in the world…many things. In this show, I don’t know! It was enjoyable and had good structure momentum and two likable characters, so I didn’t really care about minute critique. It’s a fun exuberant ride. Just take an uber or carpool because there’s hardly any parking around the Complex! :)

My overall impression

Entertaining and worth a watch!
