#WhaleFail

Great show! I had a blast being in this audience. Brett Epstein is such a talent!!!... full review

I recognize that my fairly negative review is completely a matter of personal taste and preference, so if you're not like me and not bothered by love stories, the show is very very good and I'd absolutely recommend it. ... full review

Is this hour based on a true story? There's no clue, except that it resists being boxed into tidy dialogue scenes, and wilts at the end with the announcement of an off-stage "agreement". Excellent cast keeps it watchable (especially Clayton Farris,a not UNsympathetic villain; Sherry Berg, who commands the stage; and Claire Chapelli). It does the script a disservice to ask Ms Chapelli to play THREE parts (the martyr, a secretary AND the idealistic filmmaker who bookends the flashback story). The show NEEDS an additional female to split the key roles with her. ... full review

Overall, #WhaleFail is a very enjoyable show; witty and insightful, this play will leave you laughing, feeling, and thinking as you leave the theater. ... full review

Brett Epstein is an amazing writer and his idea to convert this tragedy into a comedy piece (with serious elements) pushes the boundaries of live theater. The actors are fantastic and each one of them transformed the theatrical space in which they performed. This play is a must see!... full review

Thought-provoking, well-acted, interesting show. It zips by - you don't feel as if you've been there for an hour. The interactions between the sister, Bridget, played by Sherry Berg, who was wonderful, and Ralph, played by Jamie Engber, were delightful to watch. Sherry Berg, in particular, brought a lot of depth and reality to the role. All the actors were effective. I've never seen the film Blackfish and you don't need to have any familiarity with that movie to enjoy this play. ... full review

ANOTHER SHOW THAT'S A MUST SEE! I don't know if it's in the air.... but, I think there's more talent in HFF16 than past HFF's and this show is in my top 10 for this year! Funny, touching, and again... I love what they did with the Dawn Brancheau Story! Made us take the ride, but from a completely different view point!!!!... full review
