Really lovely - a very special and intimate storytelling experience. Exceptionally clear direction, solid performances, and the sense that, all the while, there's a bit of magic afoot are just a few of the reasons to catch this treasure of a show.... full review

Really fantastic piece of theatre. Needs to be seen. Lovely balance work and some really stunning visual tricks. Happy to hear that it's extending!... full review

In my mind, this show easily takes the crown for hippest music of the Fest. Some real hits in there. A nice surprise of a musical that I hope continues to be developed outside of June. ... full review

Utterly captivating. A non-stop surprise train of smart theatrics and great great great music done in a perfect venue. Liz is a powerhouse and her killer voice is only aided by Clara Dykstra's ridiculous multitasking musical skills. A true delight and a show that needs to have way more than one performance left. See it while you can!... full review

Easily my Fringe favorite. Stellar direction and spot on cast. Congrats to the writer for constructing an economical, brilliant and riotous script that pays homage to two vastly different works and also miraculously brings a fresh voice to the table as well (a "voice of the generation?"). Thoroughly enjoyable. Get a ticket if you still can.... full review

Smart writing and really good hour of thoughtful TED-style presentations. You'll leave wondering what other cherished beliefs that you might have deserve some skewering. ... full review

What a ride. Aaron has created a fiercely loveable show here rife with soul, surprises and Shel-Silverstein-at-his-sexiest poetry. Excellent pacing, excellent idea and overall excellent production. ... full review

Gorgeous direction, vivid writing, and Anastasia's ability to carry this difficult solo show is second to none. Both surprising and inviting, this story is completely engrossing and altogether new. Also, the use of props is absolutely inventive (you might never see a more seductive ladder dance).... full review

Fearless, funny and oh so fancy. Chris Farah elevates a po' girl's tale to a non-stop laugh fest. Utterly infectious and a twist on your typical solo show. Come on back now Fancy! ... full review

One of those shows I could watch over and over. This troupe of actors truly brings improv/sketch to the next level, inviting the audience into their weird and wonderful wedding of absurd and naturalistic scenes. My favorite of the Fringe fare thus far. Not to be missed!... full review
