We hope everyone had a great Father’s Day. It was another interesting day of Fringe. We were able to take in one show before our performance and two shows afterward. Thanks to everyone who came out for our show. Here are our reviews of the three shows we saw.
TITLE OF SHOW: Out of the Blue
VENUE: LGBT Centre (Davidson Valentini Theater)
REVIEW: This show was a pleasant surprise, thanks to the years of life experience Peter Massey brings to the stage. While I’m not a huge believer in astrology, there was no doubt of its importance to Massey, as evidenced by the passion of his performance. His storytelling was spot-on and he kept the audience entranced and engaged throughout. We also appreciate his support of our show through the workshop he held immediately following the performance. This show is one of the hidden gems of HFF19.
RECOMMENDATION: This one is definitely worth your time, regardless of how you feel about astrology. Remaining performances are June 21 at 8:30 p.m., June 23 at 6 p.m., June 27 at 8:30 p.m and June 29 at 4 p.m. Tickets are available on his Fringe project page.
TITLE OF SHOW: How I Became a Superhero
VENUE: The Broadwater (Second Stage)
REVIEW: John Patrick Daly has been stalking me this entire Fringe – we have seen quite a few shows together, and it was an honor to check out his show. It paid homage to the MCU, complete with cartoon intros to each scene and a post-credits final scene. The show is hilarious in that it does not take itself too seriously. Every cast member turned in amazing performances, making this one of the “must see” shows of HFF19, especially if you are a Marvel fan. Not only that, it has what we think is the best flyer and poster.
RECOMMENDATION: This one is truly must see, and will most definitely sell out. Remaining performances are June 21 at 5 p.m. and June 29 at 10:30 p.m. Tickets are available on their Fringe project page.
TITLE OF SHOW: Acid Wash Love
VENUE: The Complex (Dorie Theater)
REVIEW: Chambers Stevens has done it again with this amazing story that would fit perfectly into the fall line-up of The CW. Perfectly directed by Victoria Hoffman, this hilarious three-hander features the amazing talents of future Oscar winner Maitlyn Pezzo, along with Laurent Sayer and Bethany Nava. It is a true ensemble piece, as the talents of all three were needed to pull it off. The show even has its own Rocky Horror element, with cookies handed out to the audience that are eaten when the cast tells you to. It was the perfect ending to the first weekend of Fringe.
RECOMMENDATION: This one is definitely worth your time, and the treats were to die for. Remaining performances are June 19 at 8:30 p.m., June 23 at 6:30 p.m. and June 28 at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are available on their Fringe project page.
