An Essay (This review, not the show)

The reviews for this show are interesting to read, because they are pretty split. I wanted to touch on them by saying: overall, I had a great time because the preview gave me an idea of what to expect. The costumes? Great. The voices and physical comedy? Hilarious. The writing? I don’t think it was meant to be groundbreaking (I hope not), so passable. The show dragged a little at times, mainly with the set up for the love and fear sprays. I thought the Joker would do a bit more. The villains were a standout, and with their bright colors (green, purple, and the orange morph suit) they always brought the energy. If you’re looking for Shakespearean language with perfect grammar and wording? You will be disappointed. If you are looking for a show that is as advertised and has a lot of energy? You will enjoy it. Also, I thought the paper balls worked. Sounds like maybe some audiences were more into them than others. Only note is maybe give out more to the audience if you want more engagement? Two paper balls go fast, especially if you’re like me and have bad aim.

Harmless and Magical

I swear, I am being genuine by saying that. The magic was nothing crazy, but that was only half of the show, in my opinion. I did in fact, see, a magician: and it was a good time.
