The FUNNEST funeral at Fringe
The show is exactly what it promises to deliver — a funeral service that delivers peak clowning. The ensemble is well in tune with each other, and the show has several interactive bits that keep the energy and pacing flowing. While the show is quite comedic and remains so for most of the show, there are wonderful, sprinkled in, heartfelt moments that really solidify and land this show as a must see. Plus. There’s a human sized banana.

A well put together original middle school musical
From an objective standpoint, the story is there, and it’s obvious that a lot of heart and effort went into this production. Both the cast and the live orchestra, made up of kids, deserve major credit for pulling off a show at this scale, the quality of work is genuinely impressive (considering the ages of the creative team). The script had some great comedic moments, and the choreography (which at one point even included a tap number) was well executed. That being said, the sound balance between the orchestra and the vocals made it difficult at times hear clearly and be able to follow the story (this could just be a first day opening, but the orchestra was way to loud). Some scene transitions also felt a bit slow (with two adults seeming to handle this portion) and might benefit from more cast involvement to keep the pacing sharp.
