“One Up: The Musical” is a marvelously hilarious delight from start to finish. The book and lyrics are wonderfully woven with heart and humor. The characters are distinct and dynamic, each elevating the energy in their own unique way. The music is all amazing with the full gamut of ‘80s synthwave sounds on glorious display. The audience was clapping along and laughing loudly throughout. From the choreography to the costumes, the show is super dialed in and I hope everyone gets the chance to se... full review

I couldn't look away....ROBOT MONSTER was unlike anything I've seen at Fringe this year and I found myself enthralled. The performer who plays ROY throws himself into his role and never takes his foot off the pedal. Some of the musical numbers refuse to get out of my head.

“Stupid Songs” shimmers with the staggering brilliance of Keri Safran, her absurdly gifted cast and masterful musicians. This assortment of euphonious madness contains every shade of stupidity from grippingly vulgar to adorably innocent. Dan Wessels is a melodious monarch who is kind but firm in his rule as musical director and the composition of the original tunes is anything but stupid. It's complex, creative and constantly enthralling. Go see it! ... full review

This experience is an improvisor’s dream. No performance is the same and the remarkable cast is fully prepared to improvise off of however you choose to interact with them. “Getting To Know You” brings impressive life to these varied storylines and leaves you with a feeling of delightful bewilderment. Kudos to Annie Lesser and her extradorinary actors for this gem. ... full review
