When audible over the accompanying music, it was easy to tell how talented they both are as singers, however, their lack of mics made it quite challenging to hear them outside of fron-of-stage solos. The premise has legs but in its current state, there isn't enough exposition or character development to make us care about the characters/ their outcomes. With characters' outcomes in mind, I was genuinely shocked when the lights came on and the actresses signalled that the play was over because there was no resolution or closure, leaving us confused and wondering if something had happened that had made them end the play early. With more time and direction, however, it has the potential to be a great show.
I've never felt so seen. This show had me ugly-crying by the end because of how brilliantly real and relatable the content is. Not only does she provide a nigh-painfully accurate and authentic glimpse into the behind-the-scenes life of an undiagnosed female with ADHD throughout the pre-diagnoses eras of her life, but she delivers it all through a multi-media approach that combines photos, comedy, and classic theatricality resulting in a dynamic and deeply moving production. Phenominal and an apex example of how to weave vulnerability into art that moves people. UH-MAY-ZING.
This is hands down and without a doubt the single most excellent one-man-performs production my soul has ever had the opportunity to be moved by. If you also suffer from chronic Sadness for the World but struggle to put into words the interconnectedness of the who's and what's that are responsible for the dumpster fire that has become our political and physical environment, then this is the show you've been waiting for. Not only is the content brilliantly written, but the performance itself is technically and artistically spectacular.
Fabulous show! He's clearly a professional comic and it shows in how natural his audience work feels. Great balance between story telling and jokes, the latter of which aren't so polarizing that sensitive folks would be emotionally wounded but edgy enough to still be clever and very funny. All around, seeing this show was an excellent use of my time :)
