What I liked

You guys are just a fucking blast to watch :)
Songs were excellent!
Your harmonies are SICK
Loved these characters and their relationships to one another
This is really specific, but thought it was v cool that this story didn’t have a romance (it didn’t need one, so I’m glad one wasn’t jammed in)

What I didn't like

I thought the first 5ish min. could have been a bit stronger (the upside being that the show grew a lot stronger as it continued).
In a show that’s this fast-paced, stumbling over words unfortunately stands out even more than it normally would. Maybe a speed-thru line-thru before every performance, just so all of the actors have had the words come out of their mouths at least one full time before they’re actually saying them on stage?

My overall impression

I really, really enjoyed this show! These guys clearly love each other, and have terrific on-stage chemistry. There are little improvised moments and asides that show both how comfortable they are with another, and how much they love performing together :) The characters are well-developed, the script is clever and funny, the pacing is energetic, and the songs are legitimately great. Just a really, really fun, silly, and at times even heartwarming time :) I’ve long been a fan of the Robot Teammate crew, and it’s worth noting that, of their three Fringe shows – Timeheart, Thug Tunnel, and TURBULENCE! – this latest one was my favorite.
