2015 reviews & media appearances

"AN UNEXPECTED AND REFRESHING TAKE ON ROMANCE"
Another four-star rating from Broadway Baby!
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE REVIEW:
  • "Cleverly staged and engagingly written, the couple’s story is uniquely told by a pair of energetic and talented actors."
  • "Jessica Moreno... is believable as the character and has a fantastic presence on the stage which is fun and exciting to watch."
  • "Equally masterful is Andrew Boyle... He switches seamlessly from character to character, using different voices which ensures that each has a clear persona and is as strong as the last. Boyle’s fast-paced and energetic acting is engaging to watch, helping to keep the pace up and the story comprehensible."

  • "You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and you'll be left wondering what really constitutes a successful and happy relationship."

“SOMETIMES WRY, SOMETIMES TOUCHING AND CONSTANTLY CAPTIVATING"
We're thrilled with our four-star rating from Edinburgh 49!
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE REVIEW:
  • "Although Jessica Moreno and Andrew Boyle are the only two on stage, you’d be forgiven for thinking otherwise. Boyle’s skill with rapid, crisp and amusing character shifts are an absolute joy to watch – several times writing this review, I had to mentally check there were only two actors involved." 
  • "And as the leading lady, Moreno utterly steals the show with her raw energy and stage presence: she could be reading the shipping forecast and still hold an audience’s attention. The nature of Shelly’s character would be difficult to pull off for any actress, but Moreno manages to be endearingly gregarious without it ever becoming irritating or unneededly fake."
  • "At the end of the day, though, there’s no avoiding that this is a very good show indeed. Sometimes wry, sometimes touching and constantly captivating, Waitless is worthy of heavy praise."
 
EDFRINGE AUDIENCE REVIEWS!
DIRECTOR TED LANGE & 2013 TEAPOT-AWARD WINNING ACTRESS JESSICA MORENO CHAT WITH WAFFLE TV
HIGHLIGHTS FROM LAURA KRESSLY'S "THE PLAY'S THE THING" THEATRE BLOG
"Both performers are extremely energetic and they have some lovely stand-alone scenes together."

"There are heaps of jokes and references that I appreciate as an American who also relocated to the UK [...] Any immigrant will be able to empathise with her situation."

"Overall, [WAITLESS addresses] a great issue to look at onstage. Immigration is a hot topic in many countries, and the immigrant experiences in the news focuses on an entirely different demographic. Those who quietly relocate to work or study largely go unnoticed, often battling the cultural adjustment alone and unsupported."
HIGHLIGHTS FROM EDFRINGE REVIEW 
“Moreno was a lively performer and did a great job of keeping the show afloat … Boyle did well in his portrayal of a distracted and over-worked business executive.”
“I was thoroughly entertained by Shelly’s comparison between English and American phrases […] An examination into the multiple interpretations of the word ‘sorry’ within the British vocabulary was intelligent, original and witty. Furthermore, the staging worked well, with a minimalist design used in inventive ways.”
ACTOR ANDREW BOYLE spent some quality time chatting with Mandi Moss of @ThisStageLA talking about what it's like to take a show to Edinburgh and be an actor abroad.
