Wide Load - Fringe XX

Wide Load - full-frontal junk in the trunk @ the Mission Santa Cruz Venue # 8. Presented by Fringe alumni Big Moves from Boston. Written by Marina Wolf Ahmad featuring herself and Fringe veteran Colette Gagnon in a delightful duet, two-person performance. Publicized as a vaudeville show that promises to provide more pounds of pure entertainment per square inch than any other show you'll see. Focusing on the very weighty social issue revolving around the 'F' word, the three letter one that is, 'FAT'. A high energy in you face 'fat-assery' commentary, filled to the brim with dance moves, Broadway songs and sing-a-longs, and snacks. A semi-autobiographical comedic rant that takes some very high risks to make the point. Big Moves is very moving as it broaches an important subject matter about an edgy social topic, and yet manages to remain entertaining with an air of cabaret & carnival throughout. 4 cents. DeeArr
