Tall, svelte, engaging, and possessing an absolutely beautiful voice, Amy Tobin commands the stage, pure and simple. But it's rare to see a Fringe performer with so much relaxed confidence that it feels as if you're in the audience of her weekly show. And this show is so strikingly and fearlessly her own, with an easy, comfortable rhythm of which she was always in control, that I found it refreshing and very enjoyable.

Amy Tobin's insights are powerful and thought-provoking. Not only that, her dynamic vocals take you to new heights. For those who love "cabaret"-style work, this is not to be missed!

You Can’t Have Chicken Stock If The Eggs Haven’t Hatched

I won’t go as far as saying this production laid an egg. However, “Organic Boxed Chick Stock” production still seemed to be in the embryonic stage. The performer has a haunting voice when she’s singing. However, when she wasn’t singing, she was looking at (reading from?) her crib sheets. Humorous riff on Pluto. Nice discussion on dinosaurs. Didn’t need to know about tampons. Perhaps every show differs depending on the degree of audience participation.

If you’re good at zoning in and out and enjoy female vocalists, you’ll enjoy the singing. Zone out and daydream about Pluto and pre-historic times during the spoken parts of the performance. Perhaps by the end of the festival the crib sheets will be gone. I didn’t notice the actors during “Avenue Q” I didn’t notice the actors during “Lion King”. I couldn’t quite make the cheat sheets go away, though, during “Organic Boxed Chicken Stock”

I'm giving this show the benefit of the doubt in that it might indeed be far better if she had an audience more to her liking. We seemed to ongoingly disappoint her , a shitck that grows wearisome fairly quickly. This is an obviously talented lady , at least as far as her singing and presence go, but the show seemed to be based on some vague shitck where we would interact with her or something. It was never really clear to me what it was she wanted to do. When you have a performer ask at the beginning ,"Why did you come here this evening?" , you'd hope that she'd know that most of us wanted to be entertained. But , who knows? Given the right audience , and the right mood and the right interaction all around , this could possibly be very entertaining. But , I'm afraid she only gave us 2 stars as an audience. Our bad , I suppose.
