What I liked

It was a hilarious show! I’m a very basic gamer, but even I knew practically all the characters and understood most of the references to the games they are from. It’s a great concept and very cool that they let the audience pick how the show progresses, allowing me to happily want to see the show again, since it won’t be the same show.
The Zelda Queen had a great twist for the character, Kevin Maphis had fantastic energy as Mario, Laurel Coleman played Commander Shepard extremely well, MegaMan and Master Chief both had killer comic timing, and the fight choreography was great for everyone! Great gags and bits for the gamers in us all!

What I didn't like

There seemed to be a couple miscues with the timing of some of the sound effects, but the actors all kept their cool so it was hardly noticeable and even helped with the comedy of it all.

My overall impression

It was a hilarious show based off a very clever idea. It was fun, engaging and the actors all committed to their characters extremely well. You can tell they all had a lot of fun up on the stage and their fun translated into a great show to watch
