This musical hits all of the classic songs and arcs of your average light-hearted Disney romp, but it also manages to land some great self-aware dunks on the city we all live in.

Orcs, object work and overly-elaborate character names combine for some truly entertaining comedy…
FRINGE REVIEW: Boys Taste Better with Nutella is a Real Treat
A show that deals with relationships, loneliness and belonging could so easily become a downer but this one tackles it with wonderfully witty writing and hilariously cheesy dance moves.
FRINGE REVIEW: "How to Win Loot and Influence Dragons" is D&D for the Masses
Dungeons and Dragons isn’t an easy sell for a fringe audience, but this show tiptoes the line between niche and mass appeal.

Lysistrata is a comedy written by Aristophanes in 411 BC. However, it is disappointing that the effort to create connections between the source material and the feminist movement remains surface-level throughout this update.
