Full of heart, but incohesive
This show was performed by a lovely person and a kind soul. I struggled with whether to write an honest review for this one, but I figure feedback is helpful, so why not. There were so many beautiful stories, but the performer appeared to choose them at random, instead of forming a cohesive narrative. Something I enjoy about theater is the showing, not just telling, of a story. At times, the show did this with some of the visual aids, but mostly, the performer just monologued nonstop. Pauses, visual aids, and cohesion of what you want the audience to take away would benefit this show. Again, this show was performed by a wonderful person, and I hope they keep at it! I would encourage this performer to practice how to speak without words, and finding their one, maybe two, key messages to embrace throughout a show.

Intriguing and raw
I can't stop thinking about this show. There is so much to unpack. In the end, I wish I could talk to the writer to ask more about the show.

Solid take on growing up--good show!
Solid singing, but it was hard to hear the actors at times without microphones. A fun show with some solid wedding drama and cute scenes. Loved the themes at the end of the show.

Hilarious--laughed so hard I cried!

Company: The Other Productions
Show: Bangs!
Venue: Rarig Kilburn Theatre
Incredible visuals, queer art matters!
I could tell this was a labor of love, and goodness--the dancing was phenomenal! We need queer art, and, at the same time, queer art is dangerous for performers in the current political climate. I appreciated the multiple content warnings for the audience, the MN references, and the representation of beauty and risk inherent in queer and trans identity. The only reason I take 0.5 off is because some of the lines were hard to hear. Overall, worthwhile and such an important show!

Super talented, artistic show!
Loved the singing, dancing, and beauty of the show. It was slightly hard to hear the words of the songs due to the acoustics, but I really loved the experience! Also, the prosecutor was incredible.

I loved this production. The timing was perfect, the acting was great. Tears were shed, because hey, this is a French show. Fantastic physical comedy, too. Great Fringe show!
