What I liked

The women are particularly well written, in both the script and the score.

What I didn't like

Don’t make me wait till Fringe to see your fun, original works. Do a Robot Teammate theatre festival.

My overall impression

Robot Teammate does it again. A delightful show of whimsy and silliness, but with a beautiful, heartfelt core. Every performer shows the strength of this great ensemble, especially Dave Reynolds, a veritable ensemble to himself, and Kat Primeau as the strong but conflicted Duchess. However, no one shines brighter than Molly Dworsky. Her wonderful pluck and enthusiasm are worth the price of admission by herself.

The score is memorable. (I’m still humming the opening number). Paul Hungerford’s easy directorial hand takes this show up a notch. By far their most ambitious production, and also their best.
