Review: Toxieeeee!!!! by msellitti
I had seen the original films and was very interested to see how they were going to turn such an off-putting, crude, tasteless, albeit really good bad movie, into a big-time broadway musical that is fun for the whole family.
Well, KUDOS to all involved from the top to the bottom.
This show was LAUGH OUT LOUD hysterically funny... catchy tunes.... the sets were great... It was just all around "Job Well Done!". Diana Degarmo was absolutely adorable and just hysterical!!! Each member of the cast was simply wonderful!!
I cant recommend this enough. GO SEE TOXIEEE!!!!

Review: Very funny show! by shay11226
Wasnt sure if I would like this, but gave it a shot because me and my sister just felt like hanging out. Boy, did we luck out; the show was hysterical. Many...many funny scenes throughout! And the singing was great. All of the performers were so good. We left the theatre with big smiles on our faces. Then it was off to a scrumptious dinner across the street at Seeda II. Yummy Thai food. All made for a wonderful night. Thanks, Theatermania!

This is one hilarious show! I really did not expect to be into this, to be honest. Monster movies, not so much my thing. So imagine my surprise when I was cracking up every two minutes! A lot of heart, clever writing, and catchy tunes. This would be the kind of show to bring anyone to.. a great introduction to theatre for teens.. have a great time!!!!
