The Review
A musical written with Adam Pettle and Jonathan Monro
Synopsis:
On opening night everyone's looking for a good review. A desperate young playwright befriends the city's toughest theatre critic and invites him back to his basement apartment. What happens next involves lessons in fatherhood, secrets revealed, bungee cords, a quadruple threat actress and a bottle of extremely rare scotch. Watch as these three magnetic characters sing their way through desperation, betrayal, love, sex, innuendo after repetitive innuendo and a never before seen stunt involving a half a dozen ping pong balls; all in hopes of capturing that elusive 6 star review.
