The Ding Dong Girls (MoGo Co) is my favourite show so far at the 2018 Toronto Fringe. It’s got everything I love; talented cast, great songs, fabulous costumes, excellent book, and a tap dance number.

You should order your tickets right now. Ordering information is at the end of the review but do it now. Finish reading afterwards.

That meant no time to find a kid and their adult and chat a bit and see if I could talk to them after the show. Which means that this review is entirely from an adult perspective; mine.  Continue reading The Magnificent Terrific Top-Notch Superb Show (Ishi & Bishi) 2018 Toronto Fringe Review →
