This musical was such a clever and unique hybrid of story-telling, animation, and modern music! Add in one TREMENDOUS leading lady, a few note-worthy ensemble performances, some fun interpretative dancing, appropriate, period-esque costuming, gorgeous lighting and inventive mask-work and you have a truly inventive Fringe show!! Bravo!!... full review
