CLUSTER f**kED: A New Show Comes To FringeToronto
Cluster f**ked is a fast-paced, angry, hilarious and unnerving romp exploring the industrial production of social identities. Who do they think you are? The show uses verbatim excerpts from industry publications to explore how people are assigned to manufactured social groups ("Asian Sophisticates" for example, or "Urban Digerati" or "Arts and Affluence" or "Silver Linings") in order to manage and persuade populations.

Snap! The world is on its last nerve, but in one small room, one anger management counselor is hoping to make a difference.

BWW Reviews: Choreography Shines in Fox Theatre Production of BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL
The stage continues to mine the movies for product, and sometimes it strikes gold (High Fidelity-although not hugely successful was, for me a better musical than a movie) and sometimes it strikes tin. The hugely acclaimed and multi-awarded BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL falls into the latter category, taking a gloriously fine and moving film and turning it into a bloated, tuneless production that's only saved by the winning performance of its lead (which rotates between four young lads) and some dazzling choreography Unfortunately, it tries too hard to cram into far too many plot elements, clocking in at almost three hours. And, it features a legendary pop tunesmith's worst work to date, leaving its audience with nary a hummable song in its score. It's a real shame because there are absolutely electric moments to be found here and there. But, too often, what worked on the big screen doesn't make the transition to the stage in smooth fashion.
