Hollywood Fringe Festival 2026 Reviews

This work feels disjointed and underdeveloped in its attempt to connect The Odyssey with themes of race and racism. Instead of offering a sharp, well-argued analysis, it often comes across as forced—like the author is stretching Homer’s ancient epic to fit modern social frameworks without fully justifying the link.... full review

Raw, captivating, and seductive, GOOD GIRL is Fringe mastery at its best. A story about a woman suffering and sacrificing within an incredibly toxic relationship, this lead character echoes what so many women nowadays tolerate in the name of "happiness" and "love." Mimi as both writer and performer has created a piece that has you laughing, tearing up, and sitting on the edge of your seat, curious about what decisions the lead character makes next. Not only that, but the rollercoaster of intrigui... full review

NC Quick Pass makes zipping through North Carolina toll roads a breeze, and I’ve saved hours on I-77 Express Lanes myself. I’ve walked you through NC Quick Pass login and account sign up, dodged NC Quick Pass scams with phishing tips, explored transponder options like the sticker or Flex, and mastered payments, disputes, and toll violations. ... full review

" THE ADMIRAL HAS FOUND NOTHING..." A deeply evocative and emotional experience told in the hushed whispers and clamorous wails in the dead tongues of a world abruptly gone silent. An experience that is deeply expressive and symbolically abundant despite being abstract and absurd. Something that is genuinely and sincerely felt if not completely understood.... full review

What makes the piece especially effective is its blend of drama and live opera performance. Instead of simply telling Callas’ story, the show punctuates it with arias associated with her career, which helps ground the emotional narrative in her artistic identity. These moments elevate the production beyond a standard biographical monologue.... full review

Bold. Brash. Violent. Women who eat explores the ways in which young women are treated at recovery facilities. We see a group of young women recover agency over their lives and eating in the most violent way possible. Incredible performances, bold directing and impressive technical elements elevate an uneven screenplay that feels uncooked rather than raw. ... full review

Great performances and a wonderful vibe. I think anyone who enjoys sixties-era material we’ll have a blast at this show. Amazing cast!... full review

So fun!! The time went by so fast, it was that engaging. This is a modernized play, so I was able to follow along even though I don’t know shakespeare, so I really appreciated that. They even made merch specific to the show, which was cute too. ... full review

Wealthy privileged perspective disguised his comedy... full review

Had no idea what I was about to see but am incredibly grateful to have witnessed Jeremy Moody's story. A hidden gem of the Hollywood Fringe Festival, a rare experience of truth on stage. I could not tell if it is dark comedy, or light-hearted, because Moody manages to have us feel it all with him. Moody makes us laugh, makes us cry, and offers us a different and unique perspective. Moody was diagnosed with Parkinson's in his thirties, but the show, I feel, has little to do with his medical diagn... full review

A musical based on what is ranked one of the best worst films of all time. The cast fills the stage with larger-than-life characters, ridiculous plot twists, and a constant stream of laughs. An outrageously fun night of theater that fully commits to the madness. I had an absolute blast... full review

DINOSAURS deals with trauma with a fun new (or prehistoric) angle! The play balances dramatic and comedic tones perfectly- making me genuinely invested in the characters while laughing lots. ... full review

Equal parts hilarious as it was heartbreaking!... full review

A fantastic theatrical experience! Albie’s quest to fulfill his dream of working with his idol, David Bowie, is an exuberant exploration of the joy and pain of seeking validation while discovering one’s unique gifts. ... full review

FRANKEN'S A.I. is wonderfully inventive and even more beautiful to watch. I loved the combination of historical facts about Mary Shelley and Lord Byron mixed with the modern take about artificial intelligence. ... full review
