Cincy Fringe 2023: Liz Eichler’s Reviews
The four shows I saw Saturday had similar themes: identity and belonging, but in very different ways.

“Rosegold” is highly recommended and highly effective
Here’s a list of some of my favorites from the first week of the Fringe:
Rick Grant’s stellar portrayal (of Turing) is breathtaking. Mr. Grant expertly pivots between a university-age Turing to a more adult Turing and back again without issue. His physicality, his cadence of speech, and his array of emotions are a work of art. Mr. Grant shows commitment from the first breath he takes on stage until his last.
‘Amélie: The Musical’ is as warm as the coming spring and as limitless as the stars. The zaniness of the show is entertaining, but the heart of the story is what truly makes this a sublime time spent at the theatre.
At its heart, ‘Amelie the Musical’ celebrates the beauty of life’s simple pleasures and the importance of connection. Through Amelie’s journey, we are reminded that even the quietest voices have the power to make a difference.
