Stage Takes

I met Maddie at fringe Central, recently, and liked how she promoted her show.

This is Fringe! Yes! Exactly the kind of shows I want to see: Personal, experimental. She had multiple forms: comedy, monologues, singing, movement, music. I had no idea what I was gonna see going in. It kind of felt like karaoke at first, but the storyline was strong. I still wonder if it was all a metaphor.

One thing I have to say is that, in the beginning, the music felt too loud. Yes, she has some pre-recorded vocals, but her voice is just as great live. There was a projection, a lot of imagery in her speech. She commanded the stage and connected with the audience. Made us laugh and cry subject matter was raw, personal, unhinged.
