Fringe Full of Stars - Off to Eden in Pair of Guys Lost!

I finished up my second Fringe Full of Stars day by taking in Pair of Guys Lost: A New Musical at the Mile Zero Dance venue. It was an absolute riot! This is the kind of show that is made for the Fringe and that the Fringe is made for. A new musical by first time playwright/composer David Son, it supposes a Trump-like God (Zack Seizmagraff) who only wants the denizens of Eden to say he's great and do what he says. He also doesn't want to do any of the managing so he leaves that to Kelly Anne (Nicole Gaskell) . In the garden is only Adam (Andrew Cormier), until the three fates/muses (Sika Clarke, Erin Mclean, & Kaitlyn Power) bring him a companion - Steve (David Son). It's Eden, so there's also a snake (Jack Hunting) to tempt the young lovers. But that's just the story. The show itself is irreverent and hilarious, as parodies should be. The songs are complex and fun and the script is well peppered with topical refences and jokes that kept the audience laughing from start to finish. The whole cast can really sing and dance and the songs are bops! There's a cascading Disney parody that had me giggling from start to finish. A super fun show that's smart, silly and saucy!
