Chaotic Fun
I couldn’t really come up with a good way to summarize this show. There’s always something crazy happening, but also there’s not really much in the way of plot. I know that’s something of a contradiction, but I don’t know what else to says besides: Impressive writing. Impressive acting. Impressive music. See it

Thank you for protecting me.
This is a great show, with many powerful moments and some good laughs too. Only four kitties because it felt a little underrehearsed.

soulful, polished, and breakneck
I wasn’t familiar with the story, but was still able to easily keep up even despite the rapid pace (the one run for me was following along with the rabbit language). It really is fast, but the cast did not miss a beat. Tight, I suppose, is the apt word. The acting was incredible, but so was the music. Great songs helped hit emotional beats very hard, and nearly the whole show had an evocative sonic background, particularly impressive since there were only three musicians and two of them were also actors. Even the costumes and effects were conspicuously top-notch. My only complaint there is that I wish one particular set piece from the end of the show would have gotten a bit more time on stage. Really that’s my biggest issue with the whole show: it might not be perfectly suited to an hour-long format. So… full length production?? I’d buy a ticket. Go see it!
Company: Mermaid Productions
Show: The Importance of Living
Venue: Open Eye Theatre
Great perfomers!
I was really engaged the whole time. These performers were fantastic, and while the two characters were well written and it was fun to watch them interact and tell their stories, I wasn't left with a strong sense of what the author was trying to do/say with this show. I'd still recommend it though.
Company: Special When Lit
Show: Bury The Leads
Venue: Mixed Blood
Quite funny!
I really enjoyed this show, and the laughs were pretty consistent. I will definitely make a point to seek out other projects these two are involved in.
Company: Little Apple Theatre Company
Show: The Importance of Being Eternal
Venue: Open Eye Theatre
A great concept excecuted very well
These actors are really incredible, and the humour is top-notch, but I think the most impressive feat on display here is effectively condensing the Wilde play into an hour while still being able to fit in all of the delightful vampiring.

Fantastic Story and Well Delivered.
Really great show! I learned more about Minnesota and experienced a moving story. Good characterization all around (which is hard in just an hour), high-quality acting, writing, and production, and some good music as well, which was a surprise! Watch it! oh there's an accordian too!
Company: True Men Productions
Show: Castrati: A Tale of Two
Venue: Barbara Barker Center for Dance
Castrati took away my balls, but gave my my vocce
It's about what you'd expect from a show called Castrati. If you don't like crude humor, you won't like it. Good actors/singers all around, full of entertaining songs, and an exceptional live band to boot. The self-serious presentation is really what sold it for me.

Good Cast, Confusing Writing
The actors were mostly good, (with two minor characters, Vic and the Prosecutor, being standouts imo), and they were all good singers too. Unfortunately, none of the characters were given much personality or motivation. The plot didn't really seem thought out either, and it didn't deliver on being a murder mystery or having real 80s vibes. Also, not sure why it needed a 15-minute intermission. Still a fun time with good music though.
