Orlando Fringe reviews: Bullies, booze and variety shows
Orlando Sentinel 21 mins ago Matthew J. Palm, Orlando Sentinel
Ned Wilkinson, creator of such Orlando Fringe Festival hits as “TJ & Mr. Oaksite” and “Fosgate Ferret Loan Officer,” this year set his sights on a younger audience with “The Impossible Club,” a peppy and charming musical for middle-schoolers and up.
Fortunately, Wilkinson brings the same skill set to the kids’ table that powers his more adult shows: Catchy rhythms, tuneful melodies and lyrics that keep the attention.
Director Kenny Howard has helped hone distinct personalities for Wilkinson’s four school-age characters, who are forced to band together after their school enacts a no-bullying policy. Without being heavy-handed, Wilkinson makes it clear that “explanations aren’t excuses” without painting the bullies as irredeemable.
