As a huge fan of The Twilight Zone TV show, I enjoyed seeing the different mash-ups of episodes as well as catching references to many other episodes (ie: Willoughby, Hitchhiker). It was also fun to see clips from many original episodes played on a large TV monitor on the set. Very clever editing on all of these. This is a bare bones production but the small cast makes it work especially during "Will the Real Visitor Please Stand Up" when most played several characters. The ending was some... full review

What a fun show! Shakespeare's comedy gets a new and very modern take on this tale of love with aliens dropping in to stir things up. Very clever use of items purchased at the 99 Cent Store to create outer space props that light up, and allowing the audience to participate by handing out glow sticks to wave at appropriate moments.Excellent musical and sound effects accompaniment by Greg Nicolett. Classic Shakespeare lines from many of his plays and thrown in throughout, which garnered lots of... full review

Quite an interesting assortment of sex workers, many transgender or transsexual, who shared their stories and entertained with songs and burlesque routines. Too bad this was the only performance during Fringe as I bet a lot of people would really enjoy seeing this show. Their honesty confirmed that to be happy you really just have to be yourself and proud of who you are.... full review

Hysterically funny with new meaning to many of Wilde's classic lines delivered by a very talents and fun-loving cast telling the story of two couples fighting for the right to be engaged. This masterful satire written by Oscar Wilde (who was arrested in 1895 for "gross indecency with men”) would thoroughly delight his heart. Now that everyone has the legal right to marry, it’s timely for the play to be performed the way Wilde would have loved it done. This timeless story gallivants through a... full review

Sandy Mansson obviously is a fan of Marilyn Monroe and does her best to portray the silver screen legend as a middle-aged bombshell with little prospects for work. Although she wears a copy of the iconic white dress, Ms. Mansson seems to have forgotten the proper posture needed to carry off the look and slumps her way around the stage rather than carrying herself as the star she was. Most of the bits are funny, especially during auditions where her lack of confidence throws Marilyn into a ti... full review

Any of us who have placed Craigslist ads to try and sell something, trade something, find a roommate, or follow up on a chance meeting will surely laugh their way through THE BEST OF CRAIGSLIST LIVE! at the Hudson Backstage Theater during Fringe!

I absolutely loved this show! Read my full review posted on Broadway World. The World Premiere of ROCK & ROLL'S GREATEST LOVERS, with music by Anzu Lawson and Joerg Stoeffel, book and lyrics by Anzu Lawson, tells the Romeo and Juliet story of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, two rebels from opposite ends of the world who stood together in the name of LOVE only to face every kind of hate and tribulation. The 60 minute production of selected songs from the play is directed by Nell Teare, presented at ... full review

From the award-winning team who brought you last year's hit The Pokémusical, comes a new musical GIRAFFENSTEIN based on the tale of Shelley's Frankenstein as you've never seen it before. With book & music by Alex Syiek, direction & musical staging by Joanna Syiek, and musical direction by Jennifer Lin, the story follows Dr. Richard Giraffenstein on his journey across the African savannah where he creates a Monster, who, confused and angry, attempts to find a true home for himself. Song, dance, an... full review

Written and directed by Sean Dillon and Curtin Krick, DRAMATIS PERSONAE centers on an actor (Kristopher Lee Bicknell) who shares some wonderful gems that he has unearthed from the dim recesses of theatre history. The concept is looking at plays throughout history and the actors who became known for playing important roles in the shows, so much so that the role and actor have become so closely associated they have rarely (or in some cases, never) been performed by others until now. The show is p... full review

Acting 4 Camera presents a very interesting way to see a play – 52 scenes presented totally out of order based on a shuffled deck of cards in 52 PICK UP, now at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. The concept is that 10 actors learn all 52 scenes, but the couple that performs in the show each night will never be the same two actors so all 10 shows will be unique for even though the scenes are memorized, they will be done in a different order at each performance with two different actors. The only im... full review
