I thought this musical was so great, and I’m generally not a huge musical person. But this show had lots of edge and used fun contemporary references to get laughs without ever totally pulling you out of the time it was set in. All the actors are excellent and perfectly cast as if their roles were written with them in mind. The leading actress accomplishes being soulful while still embodying what being a 13 year old girl feels like. This play has restored my faith in musicals, and perhaps I’ll venture out to see one again soon. ... full review

It is always a great time when you watch Robot Teammate do their thing onstage. You can always expect a very enjoyable experience when seeing one of their shows and this is no different. It had me laughing and wanting to sing, dance, and jump along. ... full review

Minor spoilers ahead: I am always thoroughly impressed with what Robot Teammate comes up with, and I've known them for a while, and in my opinion, this show really showcased their vocal ranges in ways that I didn't know existed, specifically in the duet between Molly and Kat's characters where the blend is impeccable and the vocal quality is strong--really impressed with Dave's baritone register and Chris' ability to rattle off a pseudo patter song with such energy and grace. While I still find myself singing the theme song to Thug Tunnel, Pockets is such a fun, tongue-in-cheek show that just continues to throw surprises (and a LOT of cast members whom seem to be underutilized but really help fill the space and make it feel like a crowded c... full review

Pockets was a dang blast! The immense silliness was matched by its top-notch production. The Robots all shined but even some of the secondary and background characters had great scenes. You can tell Robot Teammate really know what they're doing.... full review

An awesome and hilarious hour of music, quips, goofy English accents. I've seen all of Robot Teammate's shows at Fringe and each one has been a unique and fun experience. I could tell they had a lot of fun putting this together and performing. They blend many styles of music and humor. This is the Lego Movie of musical stage productions at Fringe. Excited to watch what they do next.... full review
