Caveat: I know many of these amazing humans and am reviewing as an audience member, and not officially for GIA ON THE MOVE. Wiley and crew are back! Yay! A fun parody of the show I like to refer to as "yeah, I think I saw a few episodes of that once." But lets pretend you've never seen it before - you'll still love this! The songs are once again fantastic and the performances are spot-on. Everyone had a shining moment. (Extra shout-out to Reagan Osbourne's angelic voice in this one - no matter... full review

A caveat: I was the playwright’s Mentor this year (with no hand in script or production) and Im reviewing as an audience member, not for Gia on the Move. It’s early days yet for Fringe, but I’ll be shocked if I see more emotionally true moment-to-moment work from an entire ensemble as I did in BABA, JEE. Ayesha Siddiqui’s script is not only incredibly personal, but incredibly honest. The performances by Siddiqui, Chris Tedrow, and Ayman Samman were arguably flawless. Real people were inhabiti... full review

CAVEAT: I’m a friend and collaborator with this group and am reviewing as such, not in an official capacity with Gia On The Move. One of my favorite shows from last year's Fringe was QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT by Lucid Dramatics. It was thought-provoking, heady, but with desperately real emotions and performances. Lucid Dramatics brings a new show to the same room for HFF18 and while its story is wildly different, the quality is just as high, just as personal, and even more dramatic. It's modern-... full review

CAVEAT: I’m a friend and collaborator with this group and am reviewing as such, not in an official capacity with Gia On The Move. Unknown Artists and Ruckus Rockwell did it again. RUNAWAY CLONE is a tight, laugh-out-loud musical comedy with well- crafted characters, a seamless plot, and inspired writing - both book and music. All of the performances are on fire, but Pam Quinn’s evil doctor shines with comedic brilliance. Scott Golden delivers a touching performance and a monologue I am jealou... full review

George was fantastic! MAGIC 8 BALL is a touching, relatable show from an extremely talented guy! ... full review

Loved it! I'm so glad NOSFERATU came to Fringe, as I missed it at Crown and heard it was great! It is!! Great performances, great choreography, truly specific and refined acting and directing, and video which enhanced rather than distracted from the show! I'm also a huge fan of the spot-on costuming and make-up. This is my kind of theatre! And in a great space that really works for it! ... full review

Perfect location, great script, terrific cast, and a great "twist"! Wonderful interpretations of some of literature's finest by the talented cast (I'm a big fan of Sweet Ol' Bob)! ... full review

Okay. POSSIBLY my favorite show of Fringe. So good. So amazingly, amazingly good. First off, I'm a sucker for Christmas. Next, I'm a suck for 60's holiday songs. Then, I was lucky enough to be handed one of the Christmas Crackers which is a tradition in my family and will now take on an entirely new meaning. The songs, the delivery, the acting, the script, the BAND - it was all spot-on. I hope to go again at Christmas. Please.... full review

I heard about this show when it first started in New York and honestly considered getting a plane ticket to go see it. I saw first Theatre Unleashed production of it when it came to LA years ago. I loved it. This production was even better. First-rate performances, fun songs, and Spidey fight scenes! GO!... full review

Jennie Fahn is fantastic. A well-written, well-directed, incredibly performed show with great character work, laugh-out-loud scenes, and a touching story. This one has everything. GO!... full review
