I went into a midnight performance of Hellmark completely blind, and was pleasantly surprised. It had all the hallmarks of a classic fringe comedy musical: a standout cast, hilarious jokes, and a surprisingly good original score. It's no shock that this run is completely sold out, it has all the makings of a fringe holdover.

This production prospers from a strong ensemble cast. Strong vocals compliment strong comedic ability. The notable comedic performances of this production include Ali Foster-Balloun, Andrew Cormier, and Jeremey Zimmerman.

Where this production suffers is the venue. The Grindstone-run FOH PRO Stage does its best to pack as many seats as possible into a tiny venue, so don't expect to see most of the action onstage unless you happen to snag a centre seat in the first couple of rows. Also of note, this 60-minute production runs closer to 75-minutes, which could be solved by cutting down some of the (stellar) songs which run a little longer than they should.
