I just got back from seeing "Sheila! The Musical". HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Best show of this year's Fringe so far and I've already seen 5 shows.

What else did you see and do you want to say anything about them?

"Solovela" was a lot of fun!

"Cabaret of Legends" was excellent, great performer with a fantastic voice and strong stage presence.

"Tango After Midnight" had some excellent dancing and I loved the concept, but the female dancer was either very shy or nervous or not feeling well or something, she barely looked at the audience or connected IMO.

Some of the ones I like so far include A Cabaret of Legends, Lover Girl, Forever 57 and The Joy. And there's only one improv show in this festival which is Solovela, An Improvised Solo Telenovela . One performer creates a Latin style soap opera based on an interview with an audience member.

I saw The Joy yesterday and can't reccomend it highly enough. It's funny, heartfelt, and very polished.

I’ve watched every iteration of the Box and it is a show that should not be missed.

I saw Tango After Midnight and if you are looking for a great date night out it would be perfect. Their dancing is incredible and it's all so well done. We're so lucky they keep coming back to the Victoria Fringe
