What I liked
Straddling the line between a solo and immersive show, Prospective Ben begins his pitch before you get inside, making you doubt every piece of information and bit of reality. From there, Ben takes you on a wild ride of awkwardly self-aware realizations, bizarre musical numbers complete with choreography and audience singalongs, and repeated railings against the powers that be, in this case the “landlords” of his theater. It was surprising, ambitious, hilarious, and surprisingly poignant— everything I love about Fringe.
What I didn't like
I might add even more audience interaction- the focus group was easily one of the highlights, and there’s definitely more to mine there.
My overall impression
An alternately demented, delightful, and hilarious deconstruction of sales pitches and corporations, cutting to the heart of our capitalist culture and the art of performance and presentation.
