PIGS WINS PATRON’S PICK/MUST SEE SHOW OF YEAR
As reported by Elizabeth Maupin:  “Fringe head honcho Beth Marshall has announced the first of the Patrons' Pick awards, which go to the show that sells the most tickets in each venue. Each winner gets to do one additional show on Monday (which is Memorial Day, for those of you who are not keeping up).  In the orange venue -- surprise, surprise -- it'll be When Pigs Fly, which has lines stretching out the door practically to Lake Rowena.”

Fringe Pick PIGS Showtime – Monday May 26th at 3:30PM

WHEN PIGS FLY is  “The MUST SEE SHOW OF THE YEAR”
Don’t take our word for it. Take these:
“... the best splash of Broadway to visit the Fringe stage ever. It’s the must see show of the year!
– Al Pergante, Ink19.com

“Fantastic ... I was grinning from ear to ear the whole time!”
– Roni Radner, Watermark editor

“The entire cast was superb and David Lee, (one of my favorite Orlando performing artists), never disappoints - I love him!  The costumes were over-the-top masterpieces! I am so glad that of the few Fringe plays I am able to see, that this was one of them.”
– JJ Wilcox

“I was impressed!”
– Drew Sizemore, Front Desk Critic

Of Sam’s appearance in
WHEN PIGS FLY, it has been said:
“There's something about seeing Sam Singhaus dressed as the front end of a horse or as an entire shower stall that one-ups any other kind of spectacle. Now that's over the top.”
– Elizabeth Maupin, Orlando Sentinel
