This was so incredibly fun! The cast truly makes you feel like part of the neighborhood. Thank you to the Odelle character who adopted us as his friends in the show. He shared fun stories about space, and was an innocent character that made us feel safe to join in. He had us playing games, we even limboed! (We aren’t the limboing types. Haha) It was so fun, catch this show if you can. Welcome to the neighborhood!... full review

What a fun and different kind of show! As soon as you walk in you’re welcomed to the neighborhood by the hosts Bob and Cindy, who serve you actual food! Heck ya! Then it’s like you’re at an actual BBQ, as the cast whisks you around to different areas and you learn backstories to each character while interacting. The 1950’s themed costumes were fabulous! The cast never broke character and really made you feel a part of the show. From Randall screaming about Commies to Marilyn gossiping about the neighbors and sweet Odell taking about his favorite planet Pluto- the show was hilarious and things unfolded perfectly. It was hard to stay away from Odell. This character was so entertaining! Showing off the games he made during quarantine and then h... full review

A fun show that's so worth the price! Considering you get an immersive experience with plenty of interaction AND you get a full on meal and drinks, it's hard to find a better bang for your buck.... full review

This was such a fun show. I had a BLAST...you know, minus the radiation (hah, get it?). The show was definitely a BLAST (wow, again?) from the past, and the performers really made me feel like I was in good ol' Pleasantville (or other 50s movie) again.... full review

Super fun show! Utterly bizarre and creative. All the actors are top notch and the whole experience was delightful. Go in hungry, you will get fed. And now that is what I want from every theatre experience.... full review

An absolute blast that reminds us of how much the simple act of connecting with friends and neighbors can do for us, Welcome to the Neighborhood was one of the highlights of this year's Fringe festival for me. The story may be simple, but that's not the point. The show celebrates us and all our eccentricities and makes a case for acceptance and togetherness. Do yourself a favor and check it out! It'll make you laugh, keep you on your toes and may just get you to appreciate your (probably much less dramatic) neighbors a little bit more.... full review
MATT ALMOS certified reviewer August 25, 2021
Great cast with serious comic chops. Super fun premise that was oddly familiar for some strange reason. Well-directed, in that you were seamlessly guided to pick up key plot points and backstory that deepened the enjoyment. Plus free hot dogs, beans and beverages! Definitely worth visiting Bob, Cindy and their insane friends.... full review

What a treat it is to have theater back in our lives! Our group had no idea what to expect from an outdoor, immersive theater experience and we were not disappointed. The show's talent leads the audience from small intimate conversations to large group scenes effortlessly. This leads to a unique feel of being part of the show rather than just watching it. Each character archetype has its own layer of intrigue as well adding to the fun. My favorite was Odell; whose character draws you in with his boyish charms and genuine optimism. It was difficult not to follow him throughout the show. This BBQ definitely left us hungry for more. ... full review
