The Best Crackhouse in Philly (Crackwhore the Musical) at the Southern Theater July 30th 10:00pm
Woah. Dont bring your mother! This show was a tipper for me. The songs were lame but the singing was actually not bad. There were some funny parts and a giant dildo which was also interesting. I am not sure if i should say that i would see this show again but there were very creative parts and funny characters. Tap dancing and dick sucking who could ask for more. A show you must drink before and come with open minds. Thank god it is only and hour!

The Return of LICK
The Return of LICK at the Southern Theater on July 30th at 830pm
The house was packed for this show. Maybe cronies of the four men on stage, however everyone was in the mood for a fantastic show and that is what they got. The four tell a story of breaking apart and then their reformation back together as they come back for Fring Festival 2009. However, one of the members of their show has passed away before this time; there was some part made light of it. Although i wasnt sure weather to like this show or really think it was rather a joke; i sat as the four danced away, pulled people onto stage and removed clothing. Although i am not a cronie im sure that with a few beers or some heavy drugs this show might be funny. In the interest of those who loved the show im not saying it was terrible i thought there might have been some plot added into the terrible dancing and repetive dance moves and an urn being dumped on stage there might be something within this show.

Monster
MONSTER! At the Southern Theater July 30th at 700pm.
This solo show was amazing. The show is yes a little on the confusing side but if you stick with it i think it is worth it. The show is rather dark but what is theater if it isnt a little on the dark side? The show deals with a serial killer or rather a boy who grows up to lose the tight grip on reality. As we journey through the change in personalities it is a fantasic switch that the actor makes. The show was fantasic and well put together. Really grabs the audiance and makes them pay attention to the show. It is a must see show. Although the middle does drag a bit and the part about joe is hard to tie in it is worth seeing it.

Lost and Found
Lost and Found at the Southern Theater July 30th at 530pm.
First and formost i would like to dedicate this to my new friend who ever she is and where ever she may be. The fringe has a great program for the Ultra Pass holders, we are able to "bring" a friend or meet someone there and offer them a free ticket to the fringe festival. I met and talked with a nice older lady about the show.
This show was broken into five parts. This show is good for young and christian audiances not to be viewed by the non believers.
Part 1: somewhere lost in a field some tweens dance to lute and mandolin music. The piece was too renisance festival for me but you dont have to take my word for it. The piece needed a few more smiles, ladies you are on stage what are you frowning for?
Part 2: This was a peaceful piece like floating in the ocean the dancers were a little older and the piece flowed a little faster and better than the first. This piece i enjoyed the most out of the five.
Part 3: The piece was cute bubble gun and rainbows but lacked the stamana of a dance piece. Again tweens dancing who were not able to stick the landings. Also it was way to long for the amount of plot that did happen.
Part 4: This piece was the most creative and experimental of all of the five. Although it was more creative it was hard to tell what the goal of the piece was. Although at the end it was clear that they were just looking for something, this time and space could have been utalized better in order for the audiance to understand.
Part 5: This piece was way too long. And way to christian for my liking. It was hard to tell what the piece was achieving and it was too repetative. This piece needed more diversity within it so that the audiance didnt get board with it.
As a whole i gave this piece a 2

Panda Sandwich & WTF in the Garden of Eden
Panda Sandwich comedy sketch coupled with WTF in the Garden of Eden at the Bedlam theater July 24th at 730pm.
The first show was a comedy sketch with a running carnie theme. The show started out with a bang the first sketch was about Unicorns and it was so fantastic that i thought i might crap my pants. Followed by humor and song i thought this show was going to really blow me out of the water. The rest of the show started to go a little south however there were some good acts within the show. It was a mixed feeling at the end weather i would want to see this show or if i would even want to recommend it. I would rate this show a 2. With possbible points for revision.
The second show was WTF in the Garden of Eden although it was funny there were parts that drug a bit or carried on a little too long. The writting was well i thought the characters are interesting. Steve showed up and that part was great! Also the part in the beginning with eve was awesome too. It tended to linger a little too long or needed more diversity within it. It tended to drag on however. There are funny characters and just plain annoying characters but you can decide that yourselves. This show although it not be fringe bewitching hour will be within the fringe. I will also critique it when i see it in the fringe. I recommend seeing it it is a funny and interesting play. I rate it a 4.
