Among the best of the Fringe ! This is a comedic look at phone-app dating seen through the eyes of Alena's fictional persona Polly. Alena is a total talent -- professional opera-level voice, killer lyrics (she co-wrote with the director), Broadway-level performance ! This one-woman show has a live keyboardist, and Alena's singing voice fills the Hudson. The lyrics are Disney-level sharp; Alena also plays all the other characters and two more live instruments, flute and ukulele. There were ... full review

Highly recommended. If you like Kurosawa world, this show is a must see and you won't regret it. Even if you are not interested in samurai stuff, you will enjoy this because it's simply a beautiful performance. ... full review

Hands down, this is my favorite show of Fringe 2019. This show will change lives.... full review

This show was fun from start to finish. jokes landed well. I loved the banter between the SM and the actor. It was a slick well put together show.... full review

This is a delightfully dark comedic piece from the equally dark and disturbed mind of Mitchell Bisschop. It follows. the story of a serial killer in a small town and revolving around a Pit of Goblins. ... full review

A wonderful journey into the mind of 'just a guy named Ross' As a one man show, this works beautifully, it's well paced, well thought out and the transition of Ross through his life to become the man that stands before you is an interesting journey to behold. The moments of truth are evident as you feel what he went through and experienced, as if you were a fly on the wall. A story told with heart, humility and understanding. Not exactly what I was expecting and challenged the way I thought abou... full review

I was looking forward to a solid, funny solo show about someone who moved from MO and had tales to spin about the people she knew there. This is instead something entirely different, entirely hilarious and far more entertaining. It's a hugely talented comic performer presenting what amounts to a series of comedy sketches with one character in each. There is no over arching tale to tell and yet, she manages to create something of a story just from well written, well acted characters performed with... full review

The songs and script were tight and it allowed the actors the space to really dig into their characters with an almost SNL inspired aire. This kept you engaged and at the fingertips of the performers and the scenes carried momentum in what was a laugh out loud funny, definite must-see.... full review

A solid, multi-layered show! Top-notch writing, acting and directing! ... full review

Effing hilarious and totally irreverent! What a great send-up of Tinder and online dating. I haven't laughed this hard since I saw "The Book of Mormon." Not for the prudish. ... full review

Easy to enjoy. A coming of age story about one of the most famous for all the wrong reasons astronauts of all time. The dialog was tight, the actors performances all hit in the right spots and the songs maintained the same clever quip the script possessed. ... full review

Very dark and very thought-provoking. I was captivated and eager to see what was next with this support group for serial killers. This is definitely a play for deep soul-searching, not for mere entertainment. ... full review

Kelley Pierre never ceases to amaze the theatre world. Another well-written and well-acted show that was by far one of the top and favorite shows of Fringe for me. ... full review

Blackboxing is a clever parody of one person shows that manages to deliver an important message without hitting you over the head. ... full review

An enjoyable time with a great cast that tells this story so very well. Smooth like fine whiskey, this show was. I laughed and even had a few moments of "hmmm...". Solid production all around. ... full review

So good in so many ways. It's dark, ironic, absurd, hilarious, poignant with an existentialist twist. Ben manages to pack heavy themes into a show that feels playful and funny and afterwards forces you to actually think about your life and what you should do with your time on earth. ... full review

I walked in not knowing what to expect (came to the show to support my friend, Brian) and walked out amazed. One of my favorite musicals of this year's Fringe. Great storytelling, wonderful musical, tied all together with an amazing ensemble. Great job to all involved. You should be proud of this production!... full review

Fantastic. It's always heartening to see a drama at the Fringe which really nails it - and boy, this nails it. Great writing, great direction, and the performances of Blaire Chandler and Alli Miller are outstanding. They each have such ease on stage, inhabiting the characters like a second skin, and playing off one another (and the great Krista Conti) beautifully with zipping dialogue. With an important and powerful theme, and THE DUCHESS AND THE STRIPPER is one of the best shows at the Fringe th... full review

Executives, writers, casting, directors, etc. all need to see this show. This is what Hollywood needs. During a time that being "Asian" is suddenly the Hollywood "it" thing, we need to take a trip down memory lane to see why so much damage has already been done. "Mr. Yunioshi" a huge step forward toward new opportunities.... full review

In short: incredible. Candid, sweet, yet darkly funny and brutally honest, SEALED manages to be both revealing and self-effacing. Even as someone already impressed by Jane's work ethic and talent, I still found myself blown away by her ability to combine humor with heartbreak; to do so alone on a stage with only her life as her material makes it all the more remarkable. An enlightening look at love, growth, and womanhood, SEALED successfully captures the oppressed, curious spirit of all women thr... full review
