Entertaining, Fluffy, Great Singing

See it ifYou want to see great musical performances (both singing and instrumental) and you're not too concerned with the actual content.

Don't see it ifYou'll have a hard time staying interested in a show with no plot. It's much more a revue than a narrative musical.

Missed Connections: A Craigslist Musical (5)

September 15th, 2016

Auriane Desombre

"The musical offers a lot of funny moments...However, those moments don’t always translate into a coherent story line. As the vignettes continue largely without relation to each other, the show becomes something of a missed connection in itself...Despite the disconnect, each vignette was an individual success...The wide variety of kooky characters calls for versatile performances, which the company manages to deliver with great insight and comedic timing."

Joseph Verlezza

"The show begins with great promise…It begins to falter when all the ads assume a similar tone with little or no surprise or substance…There are too many missed opportunities to deliver a poignant statement and add depth…The entire cast was a joy to hear and watch, keeping the action moving and interesting, and handling the rather pedestrian choreography with ease…The production is not all that it could be but is certainly an entertaining evening delivered by a top-rate cast!"

Jonathan Mandell

"The half dozen performers are talented; the songs are tuneful. There are many songs that theatergoers in the right frame of mind will surely find amusing. And yes, there are some poignant moments too…But Weird Al Yankovich wrote about all this (much more briefly) in his song ‘Craigslist’…’Missed Connections’ struck me as entertaining without being insightful; clever without being particularly funny. It seems to miss the point of Craigslist, or at least what’s most interesting about it."

"One of the most talented ensembles I’ve seen in a while. Their energy is infectious, their love for the subject is apparent, and their abilities are constantly reminding us we are watching a special cast…The production has some misses in its repertoire, but not enough to take anything away from the production...In the end, you will have such a fun evening; you will be in love, rooting for the little musical about the people nobody wants to talk about. At least I did."

Hilary Weissman

"All at once completely bizarre and yet, at times oddly relatable...The quintessential kitchy New York City Off-Broadway experience…The quirky songs showcased the cast members’ vocal range extremely well and each got to show off their multi-hyphenate talents...It’s frenetic and, unfortunately for me, most of the connections remain missed. Rather than tying together the nonfictional listings, they are left as they are, unrequited, which at times was unsatisfying."
