FRINGE REVIEW: Bigger Than Vegas

Bridget Ryan starring in a production of Bridget Ryan's Bigger Than Vegas feels a little bit more like "ME: THE MUSICAL" for how self-indulgent it comes across as. �However, Ryan is funny, regaling her audience with humorous anecdotes about failed auditions, failed love, and failure to perform the American national anthem. �For how successful she is, Ryan sure does fail a lot. �Perhaps, though, that's all that success is - a gross failure to fail. �Telling her stories of failure through popular music - most prominently ABBA - because the only thing better than talking about yourself for an hour is singing about yourself for an hour. �Also, there is a song about Costco, because apparently the only thing bigger than Vegas is Costco. �Though there are a few glaring missteps - such as the underwhelming renditions of 'Viva Las Vegas' and 'Welcome to the Jungle' - the production is a crowd-pleaser with largely everyone in attendance enjoying Ryan's cabaret confessional. �Perhaps not the best of the Fringe, but there are definitely worse ways to spend 12 bucks.

Three out of five stars.
