Review: Brothers

Review: Brothers

Originally from South Africa and fro a five piece to two for this year's fringe the Brother's Streep' are fun, quirky and damn good musicians.

From the plot, of which there isn't much of, the show mostly consists of stories of their journey so far as a band with every element being comedic and genuine. A fair amount of audience participation is involved which is sweet and not at all sniffed at by the audience as you want to join in with the guys and their catchy tunes. THey create a laidback atmosphere while we enjoy the brothers wacky tunes such as 'The Disney Princesses' and their attempt at a musical in two and a half minutes, 'Pirate Musical Song', all played and sung with great harmonies and perfect comedy timing.

The show isn't what you would call musical theatre and could've had more of a solid storyline throughout to piece it together to make a coherent complete show using much more characterisation within songs to make this show much more than two guys with guitars and good chat. However the boys are likable and endearing urging you to enjoy what they have so if relaxed live music that will bring a smile to your face is what your after in this year's fringe book you tickets now!
