“Austen-tatious” at the 2014 Fringe Festival

Mendota Theater Company’s Austen-tatious was an incredibly funny show where characters randomly burst into song all the time. The relationships were believable and Emma and George had great chemistry together. Camille Isadora Smith, who played Emma Woodhouse, had a lovely singing voice. Phillip Schramm, who played multiple characters, was wonderful at bringing each character to life. The show was very funny and although I’ve never read the book, I left with a very good idea of the plot. My only complaint is that the musical transitions in between scenes lasted a little too long. This is a very good show and definitely worth your time.
