Fringe-Club-Twinkly-Lights_sm1

This past weekend Mooney on Theatre sent its dedicated team of 30 writers and editors to cover all 148 shows* in this year’s Toronto Fringe Festival! With the sheer number of shows available at the festival, picking the ones you want to see can be a daunting task.

If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed by the number of shows and you’re looking for a place to start, we’ve asked our staff to tell us about their favourite shows they’ve seen at this year’s festival. We hope our staff picks can help you navigate the Fringe.

If you’ve seen something you think is amazing that you think others should go see please let us know by leaving a comment.

And don’t forget to check out our complete list of Fringe reviews, Fringe Buzz features and our daily free ticket giveaways.

Happy Fringing!

Like a Fly in Amber (Lucky Fish Productions) 2016 Toronto Fringe Review

Like a Fly in AmberLike a Fly in Amber is a new musical playing at this year’s Toronto Fringe Festival. It’s a simple musical — there are no dazzling sets or a 20-member chorus, there aren’t any booming heart wrenching numbers — just two people, a minimal set, and a poignant and touching story with musical numbers that are quite pretty.
