Venue: Southern Theater
A beautiful tribute
While I didn't grow up watching Gilda, I saw the most recent documentary about her life a few years ago and have been pretty obsessed ever since. As soon as I saw the title for this show I knew I had to see it, and it did not disappoint. You can tell the creator/performer has so much love and respect for the subject matter and it just shines through her lovely work. The interspersing of some of Gilda's most famous characters and songs throughout the storytelling was so well done. I also loved that the show didn't end on a sad note but kept us laughing, which is exactly what Gilda would have wanted. Regardless of how you feel about Gilda, this is a show to add to your list. PS: My favorite moment may have been the music over the curtain call, which was a clever throwback to a moment in the show. That's the kind of thoughtful storytelling I live for and it left me smiling and singing as we left the theater. Bravo.

So much fun!
This is such a perfect show for Fringe. The best kind of silly and just pure fun. The cast of singers are all amazing and the original music is super catchy and feature beautiful harmonies throughout. I still have a few of the tunes floating around in my head! Definitely an entertaining way to spend an hour at this year's festival.

Another Stellar Show from a Great Storyteller
**Review for Aging in an Age of Change** I've been lucky enough to catch many of Scot's previous Fringe performances, and this might just be the best one yet. Funny, informative, and moving, it's a beautiful rumination on aging and how we can (and should) continue to challenge ourselves and our ideas as we get older. While the subject matter may be especially geared towards men of a certain age, I still found many take aways and good reminders for myself. Like all of Scot's work, this show is thoughtful and well-crafted, but also important, and I highly recommend you make the time to go see it.
