The bully problem is a delightful musical about what it's like to be a creative kid in middle school and discover who your peers really are. The messages of belonging, daring to step into the unknown, and achievement as defined by empowering others were all refreshing and told from the heart. I can recommend this musical for all ages, and artists/nerds/geeks of all stripes....

90 minutes? What 90 minutes? This show flew by with timely songs with brilliant lyrics that endlessly charm, get stuck in your head, and make you smile the rest of your day.
In a world of bullies, cynics and critics- The Bully Problem reminds not just children, but everyone to stand up to evil forces and value community over opportunity....

It was well made but the story was generic. I grew up in the 80s-90s and have seen the nerd vs. bully story many times, so to me, it wasn't anything original... very predictable, and therefore I felt bored. It almost felt like an after-school special or a PSA. ...

Polished, save the distractingly bad sound quality, which was a shame because the songs were catchy. As close to an old-school Broadway musical as Fringe could get!...

An energetic and talented cast can't overcome the uninspired, pedestrian score that diminishes the potential of this charming little tale that feels like a modern-day homage to the 198o film, "My Bodyguard." ...

Every single person on that stage had excellent delivery, timing and energy. They committed 100% and it's one of the best ensemble casts I've seen in a while. 95% of them had incredible vocal quality. Like so close to what you see on Broadway and the 5% wasn't bad at all. It's Fringe, so let's calm down Anonymous review... Overall it's a strong, energetic show and you'll definitely be entertained - the story was one we've all seen and heard before thought so it wasn't anything particularly epic or even different. While my review may seem nit-picky, I do think the show was fun....
