So fun! I loved this short and sweet comedy. Delightful, engaging, silly and full of laughs. Nice character work across the cast and a fun concept - and YES to the female perspective! I can see this pairing really well in an evening of one-acts outside of Fringe and look forward to seeing more from playwright Corinne Mestemacher! ...

So cute and fun! This cast is a very likable bunch and all shine in this delightful song cycle. Clever parody lyrics covering a nice variety of current topics. Lovely voices and harmonies abound and the joy the actors all clearly share is infectious! I laughed and smiled throughout and left singing several of the catchy tunes ("I Can't Wait to See a Show by Lin-Manuel Miranda" to the tune of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is still running through my head!) A very enjoyable show that I hope co...

These ladies SHINE! They are true long-form professionals, making an art form that is extremely difficult appear effortless and seamless while making us laugh the entire time. What I appreciated most was how sophisticated and intelligent their show was. A lot of times when I see improv, the performers just pick the low-hanging fruit for their choices but these ladies were unexpected and even intellectually deep at times which made everything feel much more satisfying. Their technical improvisers ...

Thank you, Harmony Boys! What a refreshing piece of theatre!
We were laughing before the show even started between their program and the LP cover art in the lobby - proceeded to laugh throughout the entire show - and THEN they continued to make us laugh well through load-out. Who does that?!? Harmony Boys does that.
I am SO happy to have been introduced to these guys through the Fringe. Their show is inspired, hilarious, bold, silly, smart, nuanced and outside-the-box. Their writing is cle...

Brilliant! Mesmerizing! Superior! See this show! The script is refreshingly smart and unpredictable and effectively gives voice to so many important issues that need to be heard. The performances are both hilarious and heartbreaking. I most enjoyed Andrew Puente's vulnerability. And Matthew Scott Montgomery may have a new #1 fan, I felt like I could watch him inhabit this role for days - his nuance, his specificity, his groundedness and his razor sharp timing were beautifully enthralling to witne...

Funny, funny stuff happening at Insuppressible but the show also deals with the serious (and scary) side of Leah's experiences. Great concept that could totally be developed into a full-length piece. Clever writing and catchy music! I look forward to seeing more from this team! ...
