What I liked

Riddled with hilarious references, great comedic timing, and a hopeful arc for 4 different characters; the inserts of commercial parodies at act breaks; catchy songs that have you tapping your foot along. Wonderful execution by the cast!

What I didn't like

With the understanding that this was transplanted into a new space for an encore performance, if possible, more timing for the lighting and transition queues to go off without a hitch would be ideal, in a perfect world. But this is fringe! And that’s quite alright. Lovely show all around.

My overall impression

A concise and hilarious dive into contemporaries combating the stress of maintaining appearances in social media while rediscovering their own, real-world identities they’ve lost along the way.
