Fringe Deaths

See it if mini-bios interest you. The hard working cast doubles and triples to make this show happen.

Don't see it if you're not into short biographic plays with seemingly unrelated music. Likewise the subjects don't seem to have much in common beyond fame

See it if you want to experience a very unusual play about 4 people who die.Some of the acting is very good and the stories are both sad and amusing.

Don't see it if you want to keep your illusions about the characters of Alfalfa and Superman. Don't go if the subject of death disturbs you.

Also This show needs some work but I enjoyed the character studies. There were songs but this is not a musical. Barbara Payton's songs were done the best. If you want to see the strangest quartet ever composed of John and Jackie Kennedy, Oswald and Jack Ruby you should see this show.... Read more Read less

See it if You like back stage gossipy shows about celebrities.

Don't see it if You like traditional stories.

See it if you think the grass is greener for famous people ... you're fascinated by the trauma of fame ... you enjoy peeling back layers of people.

Don't see it if you are expecting something flashy or Broadway level ... you bore quickly of repetitive/obvious/beat-me-over-the-head moral-of-the-story

Also The actress playing Barbara Payton was clearly a standout from the rest. The costumes were very ill-fitting, which was distracting. The stories themselves were heartbreaking and wonderful and interesting, though I felt like Jack Ruby didn't quite fit with the others since it was 3 TV/film celebrities vs 1 murderer. Still, worth an evening to learn about how famous people are people too, and deal with the same struggles/trauma we do - sometimes bigger and worse than we could ever imagine.... Read more Read less

See it if This is just really different. And it’s very well written and acted. The songs are great too. I’m fan of most of these people it’s based on.

Don't see it if I don’t know, it’s pretty grim at the end of each act, which is how each celebrity actually died.

See it if A very interesting show that deals with untimely death of these people. Borelli is very good in this show.

Don't see it if If you are not intrested in the characters who died or want a bigger production. Some stories were better than others.

See it if Starts with each person telling thier story and then goes to the moments of the Stars life before they meet there tragic ending.

Don't see it if It maybe not everyone cup of tea. Not flashly.

Also Interesting look at four people life. They all are not happy life. But have some good singing and good acting. I like this show because it is not the normal show.... Read more Read less

See it if Pulpy premature violent-death re-enactments of quartet of barely-there-celebrity victims.Six tunes; best being"The Way the World Goes'Round"

Don't see it if Souvenir spent shotgun shell casings, yet, surprisingly all drama and no camp.Search engine required for celeb IDs & common thread demise.

Also "My life is hard times & menial arrests/What God have I offended to end-up like this?" Also, "Faster than a speeding bullet..."... Read more Read less

See it if you are interested in stories about celebrities whose lives ended in tragedy and can overlook a less than "polished" production.

Don't see it if you expect stories about individuals' tragedies that are presented with in-depth insights, consistently good performances & good scripts.

See it if You have 90 minutes to kill. Most of the cast is adequate. The exception is Tiffan Borelli who is outstanding both vocally & dramatically

Don't see it if you are looking for a musical, this is not one more a series of scenes connected by a theme with some music

See it if you're interested in the lives of the 4 celebrities who met a tragic death.

Don't see it if you want a consistently well written and directed production.

Also The actors tried very hard. Some of the actors were extremely talented and beautiful.... Read more Read less

See it if you like grim tales that end in death, or if you like character acting.

Don't see it if Expect the whole cast to sing *well*. The writing is also EXTREMELY sexist- any female char on stage for 1 min gets sexualized, grossly.

See it if Wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised by the excellent acting and writing. A sad set of stories told in a novel way.

Don't see it if If graphic language offends you.

See it if you want to see an interesting and entertaining play about fame and fortune and untimely death.

Don't see it if like happy endings.

See it if If you’re interested in biographies of famous doomed people and just good acting and writing, you’ll love this. Witty and sad.

Don't see it if Dont think there’s any downside to this show. Its just really entertaining.

See it if Show is very different and very ambitious, showing last tragic hours of 4 celebrities, but it pulls it off. Is funny and sad all at once.

Don't see it if Its pretty racy and graphic at times.

Also Just great theater. And if u love George Reeves and Alfalfa Switzer, it’s fascinating. Plus there are some great songs. Lady who played Barbara Payton was amazing actress and excellent singer too.... Read more Read less
