“Director/Choreographer Jen Wineman has crafted a high-energy show that moves by at a clip and never drags and makes for a fun evening if you’ve got the scratch…the cast and music pulse with enthusiasm…The cast of seven (with two actor/instrumentalists) are funny and cool and have great sets of pipes.” “It’s loud, it’s fun, and it’s loose…for those seeking a fresh musical ripe with humor, F#%KING UP EVERYTHING delivers…As for the cast, Max Crumm sells the geeky and awkward Christian well, leading a strong, young cast.” And they won’t even have to board the G train to see it.” While youthful audiences will find it most relatable, older musical theater fans shouldn’t be put off by its deceptively offensive title. “Hipster rock musical F#%KING UP EVERYTHING is profanely divine…Despite its title song dropping more F-bombs than you’d think possible in a single number, F#%KING UP EVERYTHING is actually a sweetly old-fashioned boy-meets-girl musical…Energetically staged and choreographed by Jen Wineman and engagingly performed by its youthful ensemble, the show is lighthearted, breezy fun. “Director Jen Wineman puts a contemporary spin on the classic approach to musical comedy, creating a cast of characters who are both archetypal and original.” But F#%KING UP EVERYTHING manages to do it exquisitely well…Cheeky direction and choreography by Jen Wineman…winsome love story…The pop-rock songs (written by David Eric Davis) are catchy. Likewise the gags - a Noam Chomsky puppet makes an appearance - are often very funny.” “Poking fun at the pasty-white underbelly of Brooklyn’s boho crowd, of course, is like shooting free-range ducks in an artisanal barrel. This musical is heartwarming fun for all ages.” “Bubble Boy is a musical that will go far…clever musical numbers, creative staging, and an ever-talented cast. An adorable, clever and even poignant theatre offering…get yourself through one of the tunnels to enjoy the debut production of what will surely become a classic.” Both Wineman’s direction and the scenic production (which includes cartoon cut-outs as scenery and stage properties) perfectly illuminate the style of the writing.” “Deb O has created designs which fully implement director-choreographer Jen Wineman’s approach to the material and are delightful to contemplate in and of themselves. “Wineman is an eclectic choreographer as well as director, her dance numbers flitting everywhere from jazz to Latin-flavored to, most inventively, dubstep.” Brent Crayon’s musical direction and Jen Wineman’s choreography really drive this show.” “Jen Wineman’s adept direction keeps the action moving along at a steady clip with no dead spots or hurried delivery…. “This new musical already delivers quite a bit of fun.
