What I liked

Great moments. Love the dancing. And the two lead actresses are great and have great rapport. I really bought them as sisters. The supporting actress who carries a number of roles does a great job moving in between parts. It’s an interesting take on illness and the medical industry.

What I didn't like

I didn’t feel that the move from a story about a woman dealing with a degenerative illness to a tale about medical companies and their research was quite bridged. And the play ended, more than came to a conclusion. There was a lot of attention paid to getting the device that was in her head, but where does the story go from there? She was in a sort of nirvana (which I loved), but it didn’t really conclude the story.

My overall impression

I really enjoyed the show. Lots of laughs and Claire Lake is an amazing physical comedian. It’s worth going to see her throw herself around the stage. In fact, more of that would have made it a great show. That was what really resonated with me.
