Company: New Endeavors
Show: Muskie
Venue: Mixed Blood
What a wonderfully fun and hilarious show!
Muskie is the perfect Minnesota mash-up of local humor, suspense, and over-the-top parody. Taking the familiar premise of Jaws and transplanting it to Lake Mille Lacs—with a terrifying mythical muskie lurking beneath the surface—is such a clever idea. The show strikes a great balance between laughs and genuine suspense, with plenty of Minnesota flavor sprinkled throughout. The performances are energetic, the story is delightfully ridiculous, and the whole production has a wonderfully playful spirit. Whether you’re a fan of Jaws, Minnesota folklore, fishing, or just a good time at the theatre, Muskie is definitely worth seeing. I had a fantastic time and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a funny, entertaining, uniquely Minnesota theatrical experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Show: I Will Become The Silver Surfer. I Will Protect You.
Venue: Rarig Stoll Thrust Theatre
An absolute blast from start to finish!
This is a wildly entertaining, imaginative, and heartfelt theatrical experience. It takes a larger-than-life cosmic story and somehow makes it feel surprisingly personal, funny, and emotionally engaging. The performance is packed with energy, commitment, and wonderfully over-the-top moments, while underneath all the superhero spectacle is a genuinely touching story about courage, sacrifice, and the determination to protect the people you care about. I laughed, I was completely caught up in the adventure, and I left thoroughly entertained. A wonderfully original show for comic-book fans and anyone who enjoys bold, inventive theatre. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Company: Jeffries & Brown
Show: Braingystics: Seize the Mind!
Venue: Open Eye Theatre
Absolutely hilarious, clever, and absurd!
This is a brilliant comedy self-improvement seminar that somehow manages to be both completely ridiculous and genuinely entertaining. The two performers have fantastic chemistry, impeccable comic timing, and a knack for keeping the audience guessing about what’s coming next. It’s part comedy, part parody of self-help culture, and entirely fun. I laughed throughout and left feeling strangely enlightened—without having to join a cult or invest in a pyramid scheme!😄A wonderfully original two-man show that deserves every one of its five stars.
Company: TROMPE L'OEIL
Show: Foshay! You Know The Tower - Now Hear The Story
Venue: Rarig Stoll Thrust Theatre
What a wonderful show!
This is a beautifully crafted musical that brings the fascinating and ultimately heartbreaking story of Wilbur Foshay to life. The music, performances, and storytelling combine to make this much more than a story about wealth and the Great Depression—it’s a moving story about ambition, loss, resilience, and discovering what really matters. There’s plenty of heart, humor, and emotion throughout, and the production makes Foshay’s remarkable journey feel surprisingly personal and relatable. A thoroughly entertaining and heartfelt musical with a terrific story behind it. Highly recommended—and you’ll never look at the Foshay Tower quite the same way again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
