Cold Maple Cloth: The Farewell Tour of a Delusional Diva

Musical geeks will adore Sydney Page's "solo" show (mild spoiler: a bubbly Sierra Philbert plays Page's teenage self) about a "mid" triple threat mulling hanging up her character shoes; it coasts on their outsized stage personalities.

Sydney Page and Sierra Philbert brought this store to life. It is hilarious and heartfelt.

Cold Maple Cloth is a must see. They showed that you don't need a large team to pull off something amazing. Congratulations to everyone! and WOW! That stage director is so incredible and the music she played was so on-point!

I went to see it because the reviews were so good.

It was a two-person play with simple equipment, no microphones, but it was full of clever touches and I thoroughly enjoyed the 60 minutes.

The content really resonated with me. I'm also a performer, and I struggle with not being able to do a full-time job, and even when I want to quit, opportunities come my way, and I can't suppress my inner self.

I wholeheartedly wanted to root for her adorable character.

Such a fun show! It is funny, entertaining, vulnerable, and an overall feel good story! Sydney wrote a powerful story that is both very personal and relatable for anyone aspiring to "make it". Both actors were fantastic and funny, and the direction and choreography added a lot of fun to the production, allowing the emotional parts to really land. You'll leave with a smile on your face, an urge to dance, and your heart warmed. Silly AND sentimental - I will never forget it!

BY FAR MY FAVORITE OF FRINGE THIS YEAR! I love when people laugh at their own misfortune. I'm all the way in! 🤣

Hilarious, vulnerable, honest, brilliant comedic timing, spot on parody ... couldn't recommend this more! If you know anyone who loves/does musical theatre, this show is for you. True belly laughs!!!

EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS SHOW! It was absolutely brilliant. This production had me laughing and crying all in one! As a theatre lover and a dreamer myself, it spoke to me on so many levels. Sydney Page absolutely blew me away with her comedic timing, incredible voice, and amazing storytelling abilities. Sierra Philbert was equally fantastic, bringing wonderful comedic energy and beautiful vocals to the stage. I cannot stress enough how incredible this show was! go see it!!

An absolute must-see. I laughed, I cried, the show had it all! Such a beautifully honest and vulnerable show. Absolutely incredible!

We made the trip from Ottawa to experience our first Fringe Festival. This comedy/drama is a heartfelt look at the real struggles of making it big in the musical theatre world. Sydney and Sierra deliver stunning vocals alongside quirky, laugh-out-loud choreography. If you're looking for a fun musical, this is the one to see. We loved it!

Cold Maple Cloth story line is inspired and relatable to anyone pursuing their dreams when their dreams and reality come to a crossroads. The play is poignant, funny and uplifting. The actors showcase their incredible range of talent from comedy, singing and dancing that will serve them well as they pursue their personal dreams in musical theatre. Bravo to the whole production!

Yesterday I saw this very funny, very original performance Perhaps a semi-autobiographical story/musical about a young woman with a life long passion for musical theatre who never seems to catch a break. This is the type of show that the Fringe is famous for. The title is a parody on "Hot Honey Rag" a famous instrumental dance number from the musical Chicago . It was composed by John Kander, with the original iconic choreography famously created by Bob Fosse for the 1975 Broadway production GO OUT AND PLAY

The best part was Sydney's vulnerable sharing at about the 30 minute mark.

Sydney Page and Sierra Philbert tell their struggles to become musical stage performers in a comical and heartfelt performance. The performance ranges from a SCTV comedy skit to an emotional and heartfelt scene. I trust this won’t be the last musical that Sydney Page writes.

This is a MUST see for every theatre kid with a dream! Fill review below!

Saw the opening show today with friends and we all truly LOVED it. The show opening was well attended. Both performers are so talented and great entertainers. The performers were able to connect with the audience and had us both laughing and crying...and on our feet at the end. I highly RECOMMEND checking out this show!!

Clever with surprising moments. I was laughing out loud! Really enjoyed the performance.

Sierra and her comedy/drama partner are fantastic. So talented!

And beautiful voices… It was funny and dramatic.

Loved the show; long life to it!!!
