Animal FarmVille: A Friend Me, Like Me, Poke Me Musical
Disclaimer: I do not play Farmville, nor am I on Facebook or FourSquare or Twitter or Google+. I am probably the worst person to review this show. However, I believe that I can say with some authority that this was half-baked. The premise is fine; it’s a series of sketches that revolve around a war that breaks out between Mayors real and virtual over local turf. And while it’s certainly cute, I didn’t find it particularly clever. I mean, it’s sketch comedy, right? It’s not supposed to be well-written. But at the same time, it’s a real show with a great plot idea that simply comes up short. But, like so many other shows this year, I found that my fellow audience members enjoyed it much more than I. Even the senior citizens in the house were laughing at a few tech jokes which only made me feel even more like an uber-luddite that just crawled out from under my rock for my weekly dose of whatever. So they get an extra half-star for that. Also, you should know that while the cast can sing they are by no means singers. So just be prepared for that.
