Mind Blown

Full-disclosure, I love this woman and think she's a genius so I AM BIASED but my future husband and I both feel this is her best work to date. Her previous Fringe show "Titular Character" made me laugh to the point of tears but this time she also caused me to cry tears of frustration (at the state of the world) and hope for our future generations as well. The show is so well-thought out and the writing is superb. The songs are funny as hell and you will leave with a little ball of warm light glowing in your chest. Long Live Fringe! Long Live Shirley Gnome! I hope this show goes far and many other people get to witness this excellent work <3
