Lively music, solid harmonies, and a really funny spin one some of history’s weirdest stories. Loved it!
Irreverent, engaging, with tongue pressed firmly in cheek. A very welcome surprise.
This is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen at Fringe. I laughed all the way through it. Great performances. Hilarious writing. Brilliant concept. Everything about it was fantastic. My only complaint was the piano was a little loud and made it hard to hear some of the lyrics. Otherwise, a perfect show. Highly recommend.
An engaging show from start to finish! The concept of this musical is absolutely brilliant! Very humourous with tight choreography and harmonies. The actors were very talented and I definitely recommend seeing this show if you can!
Positively incredible.
It might not be the stories you expected, but you will be in for a show.
Have a great time and come out to this wonderful comedy.
Great show well presented. As mentioned above, I also heard a few comments that the music was too loud and overshadowed some of the singing.
Excellent show. The cast really connect with the audience. I loved it all — the facial expressions, body language, witty script and engaging music. Lots of laughter!!
From the very beginning the show demonstrated a delightfully animated, and toe-tapping production. Mackenzie, one of the four actors, certainly ‘produced’ a hypnotizingly super show, having written the witty narrative script, the upbeat music, the hilarious lyrics, and had influence in the directing – amazing! Her choice of cast provided dead-on synchronization of movement and unbelievably superb harmony – unbeatable, for sure. Can not imagine sufficient kudos to properly describe the show. Note to stage manager: I do agree with an earlier review by a Kristen on June 19, the music was a tad too loud and did give hearing-challenged souls some difficulty in understanding some of the spoken lines and lyrics. That should be very easily fixed. Overall, WELL DONE !
