What is the Fringe Festival for if not for personal self-revelation to a paying crowd? Self-doubt, body image issues, and “can’t seem to understand either sex” are fine and dandy topics so long as you sing a few songs and tell a few jokes. Last year’s “Happy Zombie Girl” is back as “Happy Pink Girl;” frankly the rotting flesh makeup didn’t flatter her complexion. HPG grew up a born entertainer, she obsesses over “The Little Mermaid” and her motto is “I hate to shut my mouth.” We all need structure in life and those aren’t the worst role model you can adopt. Ms. Hanchar is very friendly and engaging, she and her composer Ms. Pechacek love to throw their hands in the air after each song just like they scored a goal in hockey. Songs are mostly original; “The Audition Song” and “The Improv Song” were crowd favorites although I found “The Overwhelming Song” very entertaining as well. A bit of a musical prodigy, HPG taught herself Ukulele and has correctly concluded you can sing anything along with a uke and it always sounds happy, even if it’s “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” (Disclaimer – “Wreck of the EF” was NOT performed tonight. The reference is for illustration only.) You just want hug her (in a non-creepy way) and her growing up stories and day job tales of woe provide a low impact hour of family friendly and happiness building entertainment.
