ANONYMOUS certified reviewer June 11, 2017
This looks like something that could be developed into a longer piece. It felt ready to go, but needed a bigger budget. So that's pretty darn cool.... full review

A fun show. Lots of foot tapping music, great choreography, a cast that worked great together, beautiful singing. Poignant and funny, hitting on what social media is today.... full review

One of the best shows dealing with Social Media that I've seen. An engaging book with truly great songs that traveled beyond playful parody and exposed personal themes. A wonderful show that I'm still thinking about!... full review

Narsociety - The Social Media Shaming Musical, takes you on a hilarious, toe-tapping, poignant, realistic, and at times uncomfortable ride through the trending world of social media and its collateral damage. It brings front and center the ugly side of social media, particularly our society's penchant for making mountains out of peccadilloes. It is not for the humor impaired. As you journey with Carlos and Sadie through the ups and downs of a burgeoning romance now made public, you will laugh (maybe nervously) at the tame and the shame of our online reality: selfies, hashtags, food and pet photos, relationship status changes, over-sharing, passive aggressive malcontents, trolling, political correctness, mob mentality bullying, public... full review

Narsociety is a musical filled with wonderful and controversial songs, wonderful dance numbers and very talented actors. I really cared about the main characters and their love story set in this thought-provoking satire on the effect Social Media has on our lives and the misunderstandings it can create. I highly recommend this show for an Encore performance as I want to see it again and it's final performance was very early in Fringe! I saw the Preview and I know some changes have been made since then, especially to the last number, and I would love an opportunity to see the updated version. This is a show that has created a lot of buzz and with some tweaks deserves to have a long run. (As I said, I saw the Preview and these tweaks may have... full review

tagged as: original musical
Probably the best new original full-length musical this year at the Fringe. The book is solid, the songs are catchy, the choreography is cute, and the dancing is energetic. This show has a solid foundation and will be even better with some technical and recasting polish. The female leads are stand-out singers (Bonnie Kolber and Sarah Spiegel) while the male leads are more goofy and sometimes charming non-singers. The back-up performers are energetic and fun to watch. Recommended for Encore after more finesse.... full review

Chris Valenti has taken a book out of Trumps playbook and uses catchy tunes and fancy video projections to distract from his underlying message of misogyny and justification of bad behavior. It's easy to get caught up in the energy of the performance because the cast is giving it their all but it is important, especially in these times, and with PRIDE just around the corner, to RESIST this dated way of thinking and push toward progress. Examples: He equates the feminist movement to the "internet trolls" who violently threaten to rape and kill women. Once the female love interest actually starts to show independence and strength, she breaks up with her best friend, who encouraged these new traits, and goes back to her ex-boyfriend. ... full review
