My overall impression
(These thoughts are based on the 1 hour abridged version at Fringe Central and not the full length version at Actors Circle)
Holy Shit, this show is great. As long as Coeurage Theatre Company continues to market this as “pay what you want” this will continue to be the best deal in town. It’s downright gorgeous.
The Trouble With Words is a song cycle based around the concept of words – not finding the right words, saying the wrong words, last words, first words…
If you go to see musicals for a story, this may not be the show for you, BUT if you go to hear amazingly beautiful new songs performed professionally by a solid six-piece band and sung by gifted performers YOU NEED TO SEE THIS SHOW.
I’m excited to hear that Trouble will have an extended run at Actors Circle beyond Fringe so that I can take my wife and everyone I’ve ever met. I’m serious. The music is that good.
You know I liked a show when I’m recommending you see it when two of the performances are at the same time as my show ☺
