What I liked

I think the concept is good, and the performances for the most part were good.

What I didn't like

The story could use some dramaturgy to help it focus and improve, and some of the performances needed a bit more energy.

My overall impression

My top level assessment after seeing the show? There’s potential there, but it does need some work (which isn’t a bad thing). It didn’t have a Fringe-y feel to it: the story felt put together, and the performances were reasonably good. Yes, there were some staging and performance notes, but those are correctable. More significant was the story: there is potential there, but some more shaping is needed to bring it to that next level. But it was a fun show, well worth seeing.
