Three of a Kind – A New Musical

4. “Three of a Kind”
A premier, rock musical with University of Cumbria origins follows the journey of a young diner waitress who is shouldering not only full responsibility for a hospitalized mother but is also carrying vague yet longing memories of a dad long gone. Surrounded by a trio of fun-loving but ever-silly friends, an obsessively nagging boss about to fire her, a handsome new guy in town who immediately wants more than a cup of coffee from her, and an ever-present older customer who shares her passion for banana shakes, Sam travels a journey of a young woman in modern-day America searching for herself, for acceptance and maybe even for love. Book and lyrics by Amy Nic and music by Gregorv Blairr Satti and Rebekah Holly Neilson, “Three of a Kind” compels with its storyline but suffers from lyrics too often full of cliches and forced rhymes. The enthusiastic cast of ten too often over-sing their otherwise talented voices, leading to songs often more screechd than intoned pleasantly .
Rating: 3 E

A very beautiful musical, touching, and fun! The songs were well-written, and the performers were brilliant! The orchestra was a great addition to the show, complementing the storyline. I recommend!

Such a gorgeous show, and completely incredible cast! They absolutely sell the story to you and have you laughing and crying alongside them. Would have seen it again if I could

Amazing show- the cast and the musicians were amazing and so talented. The storyline of the show is so catching. Can’t wait to see this on West End!!!

This was a great wee show. The music was fantastic - musicians and actors were excellent. Really good storyline where you got invested in the main characters. Well done to everyone involved in this - thoroughly enjoyed the night :-)

I usually just go to comedy shows at the fringe so this was my first time going to a new musical and I’m so glad I did! The cast were all so talented and really brought the story to life. The story was moving and the characters were relatable. The ensemble really made the diner scenes so keep an eye out for their antics!

Good stuff!! One of my festival highlights so far. I think this one might go far!!

P.S... For some reason a reviewer called L is exaggerating about walkouts? Didn't see many opening night... And ive been going Fringe 25 years son... Petty about competition much son...

Enjoyable musical with heart, better than a lot of pretentious drivel you usually find at the Fringe.

Fabulous. Saw this last night and thought it was brilliant. If you’re looking for a musical to go see at the Fringe I would definitely recommend this, beautiful show made me laugh and cry

This show was incredible!! Saw it opening night and have booked tickets for other days as well. The story is compelling, beautiful and the performances are standout, especially the lead Sam. Kudos to all involved in Three of a Kind, truly not one to miss!

Opening night was incredible. Insanely talented musicians playing a unique score, actors giving their all through every plot twist and emotion. This is a show not to be missed, cannot wait to see where it goes next!
