Dark Comedy Winner For A Disney Adult
I'm an adult fan of Disney who lived through the 90s revival of Disney animated movies; this show touched a lot of topics, references, and even props that brought back memories. But more than that, the show was just fun. The brothers reminded me of the clumsy duo from 101 Dalmatians (Jasper and Horace) only more violent and easier manipulated (by the voice of a disembodied head.) Disney was the right mix of sympathetic and creepy. It just worked for me across the board.
Company: Wells Farnham
Show: Wells Is Third On The Waitlist

The Mind Of A Solo Fringe Artist
First, any solo show automatically gets an extra star from me just for the undertaking involved in writing, producing, directing, and acting involved. Even with that, the flow of consciousness Wells steers throughout - from the fear of getting off the waitlist to pop culture television and movies to action figures, culminating in the realization that he is really for real in the Fringe - is a ride any veteran Fringe producer will enjoy reliving, and any fan will enjoy seeing from the outside looking in. My only regret is not bringing my teenage kids: the content is perfectly PG-13, and they would have loved and appreciated most if not all of Wells' references, frustrations, and triumphants.
Company: Melancholics Anonymous

Clever and Creative!
Another hilarious production from Melancholics Anonymous. Don't miss this funny, suspenseful, and nostalgic flashback to 2008! Terrific acting, charming choreography, thoughtful direction, and a gorgeous hawk. Bravo to all involved!
