4rating = 5 Stars
5review = Fun play, great interaction between all characters, fairly witty banter, leads were excellent, the man hating lesbian cop was the best, made a believer out of me!! Too bad if you missed it, last show was Friday.

4rating = None
5review = If I _have_ to give it stars, I'll give 3 1/2.

Really enjoyed this show. Good, challenging material, which, on the whole, I liked better than "Jeffrey." (Not that "Jeffrey" is in the festival; I just couldn't help making the comparison.)

Thought-provoking, laugh-provoking (in the good way) performances throughout from the leads and supporting players.

Worth seeing; catch one of it's remaining shows.

4rating = 4 Stars
5review = Really excellent. Outstanding writing and performances, particularly by "Vincent" and "Jana", although I enjoyed everyone. The ending fell slightly short for me, but don't let that deter you from seeing a wonderful play... especially if you're interested in the slam poetry scene!

4rating = 4 Stars
5review = A fun and interesting exploration of sexual identity, the politics of shame, and power of methaphors. Slam, Bam, Thank You Ma'am benefits from strong performances from its lead characters and from well written and compelling monologues. Humor runs throughout, but is nicely balanced with the pain that so often lies right under the surface of artistic expression. Where the play stumbles is in the decision to place the memories and fantasies of one character literally on the stage (to the point where to other lead can clearly see and interact with her imagination fueled characters) without doing the same for the other lead. Other than that, and the fact that I ended up sitting next to a fan.. making it hard to hear.. even in such an intimate venue... the show was insightful and entertaining. Check it out!

4rating = 5 Stars
5review = I almost skipped this because of the title.
That would have been a mistake because it is
one of the best written and performed plays I
have ever seen at the Fringe. horehound really
nailed the poetry slam scene and some of the
attitudes that swirl through that community.
I also really enjoyed the acerbic wit and
insight into the lesbian and gay world. I had
a lot of laughs. And when the laughter subsided
there was some serious concepts left to ponder.
Recommended without reservation.
