Clever, Funny, Fluffy, Quirky, Hilarious

See it if Look, it was better than I expected. It was funny and the cast is very talented with catchy songs. On a shoe string budget, it’s surprising!

Don't see it if You don’t like “Saw”, comedy, music and camp. It may be a tad long, but it’s fun and funny.

Attractive actors, Pointless songs, Directionless, Rank, Disappointing

See it if you adore the film SAW & want 2 figure out you could have done the musical version better, to support the actors in the nightmare they're in

Don't see it if U need songs that advance the plot or characters or provoke humor, want the parody to elicit laughter from a "knowing" audience, starts late

Slow & long, Funny, Amateurish, Obstructed views, Uneven

See it if just to kill time on an idle night for non-sensical raunchy uneven hilarity. The male actors are contagious in having fun w/ their roles.

Don't see it if you expect scary/gory effects as in the movie. Hard to see actions/props on the floor. The on-off light FX on audience level were annoying.

"The show is impressively done with a cast of three (with the exception of Detective Tapp, played via voiceover by Donnel Johnson). Danny Durr plays Gordon and Zepp, Adam Parbhoo plays Adam and Gordon's daughter Diana, and on opening night Gabrielle Goodman played Amanda, Ali and Jigsaw. Goodman in particular stands out with a lovely voice and excellent dance skills, but all three turn in solid performances. (Durr's wig is so good it deserves its own program credit.)"

"This just makes fun to make fun, and for that reason it’s not very much fun at all."

“In the true spirit of parody, this show is more funny than it is scary. It’s also a bit of a marathon for the three performers, who handle their many props and quick changes with finesse. No joke, this show is bloody hilarious!”
