SD Fringe Festival: Sleep*Over: A New Musical
2100 Park Boulevard, San Diego, 92101
Cost: $10
The musical, written, directed, and accompanied on piano by high schooler Sammie Lurie, demonstrates the learning curves young artists go through in developing their skills as storytellers. What happens on stage and who characters are never become clear in this show, paritially from inaudible lyrics but mostly from lack of clarity. Enjoyable music and some talented singing saves the experience from being completely awkward to watch. Otherwise, poor staging, unbalanced audio, and confusing dialogue make Sleep*Over hard to sit through. Only worth seeing if to encourage these kinds to get audience feedback and try again.
