Insightful, perceptive, well-written review — with which I happen to agree. DESPITE silly premise / situations, and occasional draggy shaggy-dog excess, this is a FRINGE FIND! So bad it’s good — thanks to droll delivery and tight ensemble work of a wonderfully talented & charismatic cast of young actor/singers, and creative staging/directing by relative newcomer Cory Frank (whose directorial debut was last yr’s powerful “Lebensraum”). These are theatre artists to “watch.” Is the show perfect? No; needs significant cutting & tightening. Worth your time? If you can let go & have fun, YES! Even though rock musicals about robots from outer space taking over farmers’ land are normally not my taste, I had a thigh-slappin’ good time. And I have no connection to anyone in the show, other than respect for their talent. Only 2 more shows: Fri @ 10, Sun. @ 3. Good luck getting tix.

I enjoyed the show’s goofy energy and the enthusiastic cast, even though the story didn’t have the wit of a “Rocky Horror Picture Show.” My main criticism is that the show would have benefited from a more distinctive musical voice. I was looking forward to some “robot rock” but the music was all over the place.

No matter what the reviews are it’s clear audiences love this show– I got one of the last tickets on Sunday, they were turning people away! So glad I did- the music was rockin and the cast had so much energy, they looked like they were having a blast! Plus it was really funny and the two main guys were so cute together, I loved it!

The guy above obviously has sour grapes from his own audition. This show was funny, the music was good I was thoroughly entertained.

This show has some moments, but the heroes are zeroes, and the musical story they tell their hostage is moronic. I guess that was the point. I am sure I’m giving nothing away when I say I was glad when the police came to take them away.
