Pop Up Musical
Plymouth Playhouse
Star Tribune- Somewhat Recommended
"...I'd assumed (weren't you taught in journalism school about "assuming?") that "Pop Up Musical" would evaporate within 15 minutes. It manages, though, to keep us mildly distracted and entertained (if you like this sort of thing)."

Graydon Royce
Twin Cities Pioneer Press- Somewhat Recommended
"...It's a fun gimmick, but it's just that. And like all gimmicks, it wears thin, particularly when stretched from a one-hour Fringe format to a two-act, two-hour endeavor. Performers Jennifer Eckes, Judi Gronseth, Kevin Werner Hohlstein and Timm Holmly created the show, but the production is in need of a director and perhaps a choreographer. They're good singers all, but without an over-seeing presence to shape and hone the performances, the songs feel like so many discrete audition pieces rather than a coherent whole. There's not a word of dialogue, no linking material and -- most gratingly -- no live musicians."
