Cabaret Terrarium: SO FUNNY!!!

At Cabaret Terrarium, I laughed so much I was worried I might die of asphyxiation. I must apologize to everyone who saw this show the same night I did. That obnoxiously loud laugh house right, that was me.

But oh what an endearing, charming and hilarious piece of theatre. So well thought out, seamlessly executed. I loved all the little touches (like the frogs) that wove through the fabric of a potentially fragmented story and tied it all together with dexterity and delicacy A whimsical cabaret with all the chaos and fantastical unpredictability cocooned in a world where anything seemed possible.

I applaud any actor who can pull off a silent entrance. It's hard enough to get the audience hooked, but to do it without speaking is really tough. You have to be both completely committed to your character's inner life and constantly gauging the audience's reaction and patience threshold. I don't know about anyone else, but I was taken in instantly. I fell in love with the characters and world of this play more and more with every second.

If you see nothing else this fringe, do watch Cabaret Terrarium by Richard Harrington and
Chris Kauffman. It's a  beautifully woven tale with a perfect balance of slapstick, wit, tragedy and wisdom. It wins both my best play of the Fringe vote and ties with The Birdmann for best dance sequence I've ever seen.
