What I liked

I always k ow that greatness will come from Robot Teammate and I was not disappointed. Chris Bramante as Veegan, was one of the strongest characters in anything I’ve seen this side of the Mississippi. David Reynolds as the rob crier/Barkley St. Piggins/Jim Val Jim, was silly, yet ingenious, funny yet brilliant. David and Chris’s performances are Stellar and they really are some of the best talent in LA. Molly Dworsky as Pockets/bella mina crumpledunk, charms the soul and makes you feel good about being a criminal. Kat Primeau leads a stellar cast with her angelic vocals as the duchess of crumpeton. She’s beautiful and her performance as a woman who tries her best to keep her family together is a performance we didn’t know we needed. The entire ensemble was smart, funny, and silly and that’s just how I like it. The book rivals that of a Broadway Comedy playing today. It is intelligent, funny, witty and charming. I always know I am going to get really fun, funny and charming from Robot Teammate and then they make me cry. Uggg!

What I didn't like

Not my favorite show from Robot Teammate, but that’s just because TURBULENCE WAS SOOOO GOOD. But I like Pockets a lot. I would like for them to invest in microphones so that the mix between vocals and music is even.

My overall impression

Great characterization, a strong story, vocals and harmonies are excellent.
