Fun nostalgia :)... full review

This show was such a blast! It was full of a bunch of laughs and a bunch of heart. It's definitely geared more toward Pokemon fans (with plenty of references to the series, the games, and even online fan theories), but I think anyone that sees it will get a kick out of it. The cast is hilarious, the songs are a little too catchy (Bug Catcher Brian will be stuck in your head for quite a while) (not a bad thing) (so will Triple Threat) (again, not a bad thing), the choreography was fun, the script was great. It was overall such a fun time and a fun show. I'm happy I got to see it, and I look forward to seeing where this musical goes! Really, really great job all around. ... full review

As soon as the first number finished, I knew I was in good hands! How they managed to get each letter of "Pocketmon" in unison under three seconds was hilarious and catchy (I can't stop attempting to recreate that rhythm). I was very impressed with the physicality, the music numbers and the vocal strength this cast displayed. From the towering presence-yet undeniably hilarious due to his commitment and comedic timing-of Niko Papastefanou to the lead Tommy Mckiernon who tackled this marathon of singing and acting embodying everything pertaining to the farcical premise of the show-to be the best, all the way to the trio of Team Sprockett (hope I got that right) comprised of three vivacious actors-Katy Wicker, Sydney Bell and David Stolworthy-w... full review

Pocketmon is a campy, nostalgic comedy that knows it's a parody and doesn't take itself too seriously, creating a fun time for both audience and actors (they at least all looked like they were having a blast, if not they're REALLY GOOD actors). Referencing so much more than just our beloved video game from the 00s, Brandon Pfeltz has a creative brain that is able to mash up favorites from across decades into a show that scores major points across generations. From "Bug Catcher Brian" to "GrandePuff" (fantastically whistletoned by Sydney Bell), there's sure to be something for everyone to catch on to...and miss! The show is performed by an ensemble who you can tell has taken the show and RAN with it. Tommy McKiernan as the confident, yet clu... full review
